Micajah Reynolds
went back to Lansing, Michigan, after the Dolphins completed their offseason program and spent his month away from the team working out with former teammates at his alma mater, Michigan State.
No vacation, no relaxing for the undrafted rookie free agent trying to find a way to earn a roster spot with the Dolphins.
“It would have been nice (to just relax), but we can’t really do that,” Reynolds said. “My whole M.O. was just to come back better than I left and prepare for camp more than anything. That’s what my main goal was.”
It was, by all accounts, a rather uneventful few weeks for Reynolds. For certain, nothing happened that rivaled the events of the previous summer, specifically a night that Reynolds likely will remember for the rest of his life.
Days before he was to begin fall practice for his senior season at Michigan State, Reynolds was driving home when he came upon a teenager who had been shot three times. Reynolds turned his car around, got to the teenager and administered first aid until an ambulance showed up.
Although reports indicated the young man lost an eye, he survived his injuries. And whatever role Reynolds played in that likely will overshadow anything he ever accomplishes on the football field.
