The Miami Dolphins have signed linebacker Anthony Walker Jr., a Miami native who played at Monsignor Pace and Northwestern University. Walker, 28, started 12 games last season for Cleveland and has 75 starts in 7 seasons. He scored higher in pass coverage than run defense or pass rush, according to PFF rankings. Walker is seen as a potential replacement for Jerome Baker.
So Dolphins move forward with Jordyn Brooks and David Long Jr. as their likely starting ILBs, with Anthony Walker Jr. Duke Riley and Channing Tindall in reserve on a hypothetical, early depth chart. Tindall received only 21 defensive snaps his first two seasons. https://t.co/ktVVwMgw2z
