...did the Dolphins just find this year's first home run Jonnu Smith/Aaron Brewer scheme fit? Maybe....

The Dolphins’ first addition to their secondary in the 2025 tampering window is former Syracuse cornerback and Detroit Lions safety Ifeatu Melifonwu. Melifonwu is a long, explosive player who broke out with the Lions back in 2023 in what was a Year-3 breakthrough. He showed ability to impact the game in coverage, as a pressure player and as a run support player.
