Miami Dolphins reveal full list tryout players as rookie minicamp gets underway
HAL HABIB / The Palm Beach Post / USA TODAY NETWORK

The Miami Dolphins, like every other team, are bringing in some NFL hopefuls to see if any of them can make an early impression and get a shot at living out their NFL dreams in Miami.  

The team's rookie minicamp is getting underway on Friday, and the team provided the media with a full minicamp roster that identifies all of their tryout players, along with their draft picks and signed undrafted free agents. 

Former FIU linebacker Alex Nobles will get a (very long) shot at becoming a local hero with the Dolphins.  The 6'1", 243-pound linebacker gives the Dolphins something they need particularly right now: the ability to get into the backfield.  Nobles had 6.5 sacks and 16 tackles for loss in his two seasons with FIU.  

The Dolphins are also kicking the tires on two very big individuals who stand out in pretty much any crowd: Michigan State DL Jalen Sami and Liberty OL Jonathan Graham.  The 6'4", 333-pound Sami's size alone make him worth watching.  Graham is massive for a guard at 6'5" and 334 pounds. The question is whether he can take advantage of that size, as that won't be as much of an advantage on the next level where technique and footwork are king. 

We'll see soon enough if any of these players can do enough during this weekend's rookie minicamp to impress Miami's coaching staff and earn a shot at sticking around.
