Horton Dolphins rookie leaves to pursue a new career

Rookie cornerback Tyler Horton left the Dolphins permanently by choice Tuesday, but for a noble reason:

He wants to pursue a career in police in his hometown of Fresno, California.

Horton informed the dolphins of his decision before Tuesday's minicamp training. It has not been seen on the field during practice.

"It's hard to hit a young man who wants to help his community," Barry Gardner, his agent, said by phone. "It's an incredible thing. It's a dangerous job. What he does is commendable. How could you not support him? "

Gardner said the dolphins were not trying to convince Horton to stay.

"They were very supportive and left the door open for him to come back," Gardner said. "I'm sure it was surprising to them."

The Dolphins announced Tuesday that they had released Horton but did not provide any explanation in the press release. Her agent later clarified that Horton had started to speak to police schools on Tuesday.

Horton had five touchdowns, five interceptions, 24 defended passes and six recoveries in four years at Boise State, and Dolphins co-director of staff, Adam Engroff, recently told the team's website: "He's a kind of playmaker, very instinctive. from the production of balls to the central units, breaks in passes, interceptions. I think he's got an NCAA record for most touchdowns in a match; he had two. Someone we really care about, our defensive backs coach [Boyer] really feels so good. "

The dolphins gave him $ 15,000 as an incentive to sign with them after the repechage.

Even without Horton, the Dolphins still have many young half-places in the running: Eric Rowe (who remains the leader of the starting post of Xavien Howard), Jalen Davis (interception of Josh Rosen Tuesday), Cornell Armstrong, Cordrea Tankersley (still absent after an ACL operation last October), the former Patriots' training team player, Jomal Wiltz, the former AAF player, Jamar Summers, the third-year veteran Torry McTyer and unmarked rookies Watch Hartage and Nik Needham.

Minkah Fitzpatrick, Bobby McCain and Walt Aikens can play cornerback and safety.

DAVIS IN MOVING

Another day, another good start for the Dolphins.

After crossing Zach Sterup, then Jordan Mills, free agent, at the position, the Dolphins told Jesse Davis Tuesday.

"We wanted to mix the game a bit, put it in the right place and see where we could find the top five, as they like to say," Davis said.

Davis played the right guard all the time last season and in the nine offseason practice sessions that started this week. That changed on Tuesday when he found himself on the right wing with former Jaguar player Chris Reed and third-round rookie Michael Deiter on guard.

"Right now, it's just about feeling comfortable. I have not played the tackle for a year and a half, "said Davis. "If you attack, you have more space, more island, but you have more time to react. Rather than a guardian, everything happens faster. Attack you have more time to react, but you must cover more ground. "

Davis, who will win at least $ 465,000 in the league this season, knows that the best tackles usually earn more than the best guards.

"I do not want to be a one-dimensional player. I want to be like a utility, "Davis said. "And if you talk about money, the money is nice.

The decision to play against Davis depends not only on how Davis behaves in a tackle, but also on the fact that both players, the Dolphins, feel the most comfortable, starting with Reed, Deiter, Mills and Sterup.

Davis said that Deiter is "good. Strong guy. Good hands Well trained. It is also a very coachable player, which is really nice. And he is a flexible player.

Davis said Reed, who has made eight starts and 25 appearances in four games with the Jaguars, is "awesome. He has added a lot to this line, from the knowledge of game situations to the knowledge of the game book. It fits perfectly where we are. "

Left forwards Laremy Tunsil and center Daniel Kilgore are the other starters, alongside Davis.

Former Ohio State rookie striker Isaiah Prince, the sixth-round pick of the Dolphins, was not a decisive factor in the battle for the first team's attack team.
