Dolphins Sign CFL Most Outstanding Special Teams Player, DeVonte Dedmon

[j0hnny63]

The news comes courtesy Natey Adjei: The most feared returner in the CFL is signing with Miami Dolphins. Big loss for the Redblacks but great to see CFL talent get opportunities down south.

Dedmon worked out for Miami, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers, Arizona Cardinals, Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.

The William & Mary product was named the league’s Most Outstanding Special Teams Player in 2021 after amassing 48 punt returns for 737 yards and two touchdowns, 11 kick-off returns for 1,223 yards and one touchdown, and four missed field goals for 103 yards.

Thanks for posting. I hope he is as good as advertised because I don’t want Waddle returning punts and possibly getting injured he is to valuable.

At 5'10", 200lbs he's built big enough to take some hits too. This would be a good pick-up if he can produce.

11 kick return for 1221 yards ?

Had to look it up, CFL field is 110yds. Its still (1222/11) 111 yrds a return?

I didn’t catch that he must run up the tunnel on every return

Welcome to Miami DeVonte! I hope you ball out for us

I’ll admit it, I live here in the city the Redblacks play (Ottawa) but only casually watch the CFL and actually watch the B.C. Lions more than Ottawa so I can’t say much about this fellow except that if he’s breaking Gizmo Williams’ records, that’s impressive because Gizmo was unreal.

McDaniel for HC confirmed. He’s going to be the Phins version of Deebo.

Important piece of special teams. Hopefully he doesn't turn over the ball. Keeping Holland and Waddle off specials is key.

 

[claytonduper]

More than specials he is a running back also. I could see him being productive.

Signing players without a coach. Makes sense.

I hope this doesn't change anything as far as free agency or the draft

Signing players without a coach. Makes sense.

for all we know, there might already be an agreement in place with a coach and he signed off on the signing
