Miami Dolphins Player Focus - Vontae Davis & Sean Smith

Let’s be absolutely clear here – the NFL is a passing league. While the 2011 season might be an outlier, it is still significant. After only two seasons in NFL history with a 5,000 yard passer, spread more than 20 yards apart, the 2011 NFL season saw three 5,000 yard passers, and one quarterback who came close (Eli Manning was 63 yards away from 5,000). Here’s the deal, all...
