When the Dolphins drafted Jakeem Grant in 2016 Dolphins fans hoped they had found a legit return man and a speed guide on the outside. Grant was largely unimpressive in 2016 and his inability to field punts made him a liability in the return game.
Grant couldn’t cut it as a wide-receiver and as a result many questioned his future beyond 2017. In the final month and a half of the 2017 season Adam Gase finally found a way to use Grant. Grant finished the final month with 16 receptions for just under 200 yards and two touchdowns. Grant posted his first career 100 yard game with a 107 yard effort against the Chiefs.
While Grant still has a long way to grow he finally began to show signs of progressing as Adam Gase got him more involved in the offense.
