Dolphins Sign Five Rookies

The Dolphins finally inked some of their rookies to contracts. The team announced that they’ve signed five of their 2024 draft picks:

Round 4, No. 120 (from Rams through Steelers and Eagles): Jaylen Wright (RB, Tennessee)

Round 5, No. 158: Mohamed Kamara (EDGE, Colorado State)

Round 6, No. 184 (from Bears): Malik Washington (WR, Virginia)

Round 6, No. 198: Patrick McMorris (S, Cal)

Round 7, No. 241: Tahj Washington (WR, USC)

These five rookies kick off the organization’s draft-class signings. First-round edge defender Chop Robinson and second-round offensive tackle Patrick Paul remain unsigned.

Considering how much the Dolphins have gotten out of their running backs in recent years, Jaylen Wright is certainly an intriguing addition. The Tennessee prospect took it to another level this past season, finishing with 1,154 yards from scrimmage. The rookie has an uphill battle for playing time behind the likes of Raheem MostertDe’Von Achane, and Jeff Wilson, but he could easily slide up the depth chart if/when the team faces injuries.

Patrick McMorris is another prospect who could see a role in 2024. After two standout seasons at SDSU, the safety continued his production after transferring to California, finishing with 90 tackles and eight passes defended. The rookie will compete with Elijah Campbell for any leftover snaps at the safety position.
