The Miami Dolphins’ efforts to lock in their 2020 rookie class continue. The Dolphins have been able to sign a majority of their Day 3 selections from last month’s draft — starting with offensive guard Solomon Kindley, followed quickly thereafter by DL Jason Strowbridge and DE Curtis Weaver and now the addition of long-snapper Blake Ferguson.
Ferguson comes to Miami as an unheralded member of the LSU Tigers’ 2019-2020 National Championship team and has already secured the starting long-snapper position over incumbent Taybor Pepper, who was cut in the immediate aftermath of the 2020 NFL Draft in April.
Pepper was the man who unseated long-time snapper John Denney — but Miami did not hesitate to move on after just one season when the opportunity to draft Ferguson arose late in the 2020 draft’s third and final day. Miami will still need to finalize a deal with Malcolm Perry and the team’s six selections on the draft’s first two days, but with five players signed the Dolphins are on the cusp of the halfway mark in negotiations with their 2020 rookie class.
