Steve Fifita
Height: 5-11 1/4 | Weight: 323 | 40-Time: 5.14

Official Bio

Strengths:
Extremely strong...A wide load who is very disruptive in the middle...Has a great motor...Plays with excellent leverage...Can stuff the run and take on multiple blockers...Is able to get some penetration...An experienced three-year starter.

Weaknesses:
Does not have the height you look for...Inconsistent...Is not a great natural pass rusher and won't rack up many sacks...Has a bit of a hard time with massive offensive linemen...Stamina could be a concern...Won't be a fit for every team.

Notes:
Last name is pronounced "fee-feeta"...Strongest player on the team with a 675 lb. squat and 460 lb. bench press...Underrated player who could excel as a nose guard in the pros under the right circumstances...Need to be in the right scheme.

Yeah I remember him, he plays with a lot of intensity. I didnt realize he was so short.

Now we have sixty DTs

We have more DT's than Marino had TD's for his career!!

Good practice-squad material but I wonder other than Zgonina who's on their way out? I see Evans on the roster, Wright getting surgery, Vickerson making it, and Wright offcourse.

Yesssssss!

I like having this many DT's. Survival of the fittest. Those that can't keep up get left behind.

I would have to agree.I really wanna' see what Kevin and Manny can do for us.

I only know one thing: Vonnie Holliday is still a starter.

I'm not too certain about Tractor Traylor, and if age is getting the best of him.

Which one of our new DTs is similar to Keith, in terms of size/run stuffing? Anyone know?

I'm A Huge University Of Utah Fan And Have Watched Steve Fifita His Whole Career Here. We Should All Be Very Excited to have him in Miami, Because He Is A Bull! Very Good and strong Football Player, He Will Be Missed In Utah, But Go Dolphins.

This guy, Fafita is! Excellent pick-up, he is a pure NT! Good choice and with R Wright perhaps a future pick due to injury, I think Fafita has a better than average chance of making the team.
