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.’’
