Dolphins

Former Dolphins LT Terron Armstead was at training camp recently and shared his impressions of a few different players. While most expect the secondary and specifically cornerback to be a big weakness for Miami, Armstead thinks an unheralded player like CB Storm Duck could have a lot to say about that.

“I will go so far to say Storm Duck is not only a starter, but will be a starter in this league for years to come,” Armstead said on his podcast via USA Today’s Adam Stites. “I will say that about Storm. He’s professional and as an undrafted rookie last year and then this going into his second year, I have a lot of excitement about Storm Duck. This is what I would say about Storm. The reason I’m so excited about Storm: he’s not the fastest, he’s not the biggest, he’s not the most athletic, he’s the most competitive on the field. He is. He lines up when [Tyreek Hill] goes up there for one-on-ones. Storm Duck will run from the other side of the field, ‘I want that matchup and I’m here to lock you up.’ When [Jaylen Waddle] goes, Storm Duck’s running, ‘I want to see them too.’ That’s who’s Storm is going against in one-on-ones. ‘I want to see them.’ He wants to see ‘Reek and Waddle. He wants the top, you know what I mean? I love it because he can easily duck off towards the back undrafted. He wants the smoke. He’s lining up. I’m a Storm Duck fan. Cool name, too, bro.”

• Armstead also thinks the Dolphins have unearthed a gem in 2024 UDFA C Andrew Meyer: “One of my absolute favorite guys around the NFL, Andrew Meyer. Andrew Meyer is a NFL starter. He is not starting for the Miami Dolphins because of one Aaron Brewer. [Brewer] is a Pro Bowl, All-Pro center. Andrew Meyer is a starting center and will be in the NFL 10 years. He is not big. You don’t look at him and see like, ‘That’s a unit right there.’ Andrew Meyer looks like a scientist. But he can play football at a very, very high level.”
• Armstead shouted out sixth-round RB Ollie Gordon Jr: “He’s a big running back built like one of these pass rushers now, long arms. I saw explosive plays out of Ollie Gordon every day. Not every day, every period. Every period he was breaking through the line of scrimmage, second level, getting to the third level.”
• Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said TE Darren Waller may be a week from returning from the PUP list, via Joe Schad. He hsn’t practiced yet during camp.
