Miami Dolphins pin hopes on Brock Osweiler signing, draft QB exclusively performs for team-NFL News
Miami Dolphins are getting an exclusive opportunity to view draft quarterback, Brock Osweiler's workout, confirmed by the player himself.
Osweiler’s arrival in Miami comes after the player did a similar workout for Denver Broncos, a couple of days earlier.
Dolphins qualified for the 8th overall draft pick, and would be weighing their prospects of signing the young signal-caller to a beginner’s contract.
Broncos have weighed his performance during the workout for the overall 25th position. The player himself has not said anything around his choice and presented both teams with an opportunity each to evaluate him based on his performance.
He said:
“Honestly, New York would be a lot of fun, and there's some great things that would take place, and like I said, it has been a dream of mine. But it's just the person I am and how I was raised that I want to be around the people that have supported me throughout
this process."
Matt Moore and David Garrard are occupying the leading quarterback positions at Dolphins, but the team aims to train and groom the youngster alongside if he is signed by them.
This is for the second time this offseason that Dolphins are viewing a quarterback as they had already explored the opportunity of taking on board former Indianapolis Colts’ star quarterback, Peyton Manning, who later joined the Broncos.
However, this is the first visit by a draft quarterback and the management remains hopeful of making a breakthrough this time.
Some analysts have rated the draft prospect among top few quarterbacks while others weigh him as an ordinary player. This is something the player himself will prove during his rookie year.
With the visit of Dolphins, the player will be completing two tours to respective teams, which he has attracted so far. None of other sides from the league has spoken of bearing ambitions of evaluating him.
Meanwhile, Dolphins’ choice is also going to be clearer after they are done with their evaluation of the player.
There is no word from Broncos if they were impressed by his talent and skills during the workout for them.
Dolphins must be hoping that they come out with the best decision. The managers are already under fire from fans and other members of the local football community for leaving the side lurking senselessly and directionless.
The management is particularly criticised for being unable to make some bold decisions, which they think, were essential to give the team a proper sense of direction.
Dolphins’ managers, coaching officials and owner were also accused of not making serious efforts for potential signing of Peyton Manning.
All of the officials have lately defended their positions, respectively, saying they were as much concerned and serious in rebuilding the side as the fans and other members of Dolphins community.
