Well, what do you know? Tiki Barber found a team willing to give him a look this offseason when the Miami Dolphins worked him out Tuesday. And according to Jay Glazer’s source, Barber looked “good.”

The Dolphins current depth at running back looks something like this:
Rookie Daniel Thomas is the clear number on on offense, figuring to get a majority share of touches this season. Offseason acquisition Reggie Bush will eat into his carries but function primarily as a receiving back. Then you’ve got Lex Hilliard — who touched the ball once last season — and Kory Sheets rounding out the depth chart, but it’s a question whether Sheets will make the final roster cut even though he’s boasted this offseason that he has “everything Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams had but more speed — 4.3 speed.”
Let’s keep in mind that Barber, now 36, left the Giants and the NFL in 2006 to pursue a career in broadcasting (and sandbag an ex-teammate from a television studio), so he hasn’t set foot on a field with pads in four years. Even if he does manage to snag a roster spot, don’t expect the former star running back to steal many carries this season.
