Livas hopes to stick as Miami Dolphins return specialist

[DKphin]

DAVIE—
When Dolphins undrafted rookie receiver Phillip Livas was en route to tying the NCAA Division I record with eight career punt and kickoff returns for touchdowns at Louisiana Tech, he was dubbed, ‘Saturday Night Livas.’

If Livas hopes to massage his nickname to the more appropriate day of the week, the 5-foot-7 speedster may have to duplicate his game-turning 75-yard punt return touchdown from the first preseason win over Atlanta in Saturday night’s game against Tampa Bay.

“Just another good opportunity to showcase what I can do, make good decisions out there, catch everything, catch a seam and hopefully make another big return to show them I can compete on an NFL level,’’ Livas said after Thursday morning’s practice inside the bubble.

“It doesn’t matter the size, I got the heart.’’

Cant help but pull for this kid. IMO he should be locked up right next to Gates and either Wallace OR Moore, for the simple fact that he did something that we havent even sniffed since Ginny left. And if he truly does have the heart, thats all he needs, cuz we've already seen the talent.
