Number 3: Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner

Career Stats for Thomas: 37 G, 26 GS.  Career Stats for Turner: 20 G, 14 GS

Yes, I am combining these two into one selection because they were quite literally the same player throughout their entire time with the team. Calling them both turnstiles would be an insult to turnstiles. I think every one of us has gotten slowed down by a turnstile at one point in our lives and I don’t believe there is any evidence of either of these two linemen slowing anyone down ever.

Ok, I’m done.

Over the course of both of their illustrious careers in a Dolphins uniform, both Thomas and Turner seemed to do more harm than good. Both were taken as third-round picks and expected to help Mike Pouncey transform the interior of this offensive line. Neither were able to do that and both happened to be cut in 2016 on the same day.

Turner ended up developing into a somewhat capable lineman, playing on the Green Bay Packers as of this year. Thomas is playing in the XFL
