Miami Dolphins most intense camp battles that are not being talked enough about

The Miami Dolphins most intense camp battles that are not being talked enough about.
During the 2019 Miami Dolphins season, the lack of depth and starting talent made most camp battle figured well before they started. With so many returning starters, a sizeable free-agent class, and many drafted and undrafted rookies with unlimited potential, I expect this training camp to be one to remember (if it still happens).
During the 2019 season, we saw multiple players earn snaps. Exciting, undrafted players like Nik Needham and Preston Williams headline a long list of undrafted players that earned snaps. With a total of 11 undrafted players from the 2019 draft class, they contributed 2,382 snaps during the year on both sides of the ball. Leading the way with 743 snaps during the 2019 season Nik Needham is a prime example of how smart it was for the coaching staff to allow unknown players to come in and start a base that is on their inexpensive rookie contracts to come in and get experience and see what they are made I was lined.
Also, the lack of talent allowed cast-offs from other teams to come in and show what they have during regular season play. Players like Zach Seiler, Adrian Colbert, Steven Parker, and Adam Pankey. These players will figure into the upcoming training camp position battles.
With so many returning players that have proven themselves right during the 2019 season, I make my case for the most exciting training camp battles, I believe, are not getting enough attention.
