AFC Notes: Dolphins, Jets, Titans

Dolphins

  • Since the Dolphins only have 58 players on the roster currently, the Miami Herald’s Armando Salguero expects them to add a larger-than-usual number of undrafted free agents to fill out the roster. 
  • The Dolphins visited with Buffalo QB Tyree Jackson on campus. (Tom Pelissero)
  • Grand Valley State LB Tyree Horton will attend the Dolphins’ local pro day. (Aaron Wilson)
  • Florida State DT Fred Jones will also attend. (Wilson)

Jets

Jets QB Sam Darnold is ecstatic about the Jets adding RB Le’Veon Bell

โ€œI love it. Whatโ€™s not to love about it?” Darnold said via Brian Costello. “Leโ€™Veonโ€™s a great player. Heโ€™s very instinctful, too. Heโ€™s very quarterback friendly, which Iโ€™ve noticed watching his tape a little bit.โ€

  • Darnold says Bell’s rapport with Ben Roethlisberger stood out to him: “Whenever Big Ben was back there, as a quarterback you sense when time runs out and you start looking for guys and Leโ€™Veonโ€™s always really friendly and right there in your vision or he was always in Benโ€™s vision.โ€ (Costello)
  • Darnold says Bell will help him out as a “security blanket” when he starts to feel pressure. (Costello)
  • Youngstown State C Vitas Hrynkiewicz will work out for the Jets. (Aaron Wilson)
  • Hrynkiewicz will also attend the team’s local pro day. (Connor Hughes)
  • Michigan State CB Justin Layne visited the Jets Wednesday. (Josh Norris)
  • The Jets reportedly have a fourth-round grade on Rutgers CB Blessuan Austin. (Tony Pauline)

Titans

Titans TE Delanie Walker says he’s ready to prove in 2019 he’s not too old or too injured to play. 

โ€œThis is going to be my motivation year,โ€ Walker said, via Jim Wyatt of the teamโ€™s official website. โ€œI always say that I am motivated every year, but coming off an injury like that and then me being 35 [in August] going into next season, Iโ€™ll be extra motivated. I feel like this is the year I need to show everyone I came back from an injury, Iโ€™m 35, and I am still the best tight end in the NFL.โ€
