Miami Dolphins: 3 players whose stock has dropped

LT Austin Jackson

I was stuck between starting right tackle Jesse Davis or starting left tackle Austin Jackson for this slide, but I decided that Jackson was the winner…well, I guess loser of that decision.

Davis is a veteran offensive lineman with limited expectations from what he has already shown he lacks in his career. His stock was never really high in the first place, so by default, Jackson’s stock has truly fallen the most.

Miami Dolphins’ social media has made it seem like Jackson has really made strides at left tackle and was going to show he is a legitimate starter. However, just like Wilson, this is practice. It matters what you do when the ball is spotted, and the game is live.

And for Jackson, it went worse than anyone could have imagined.

Before anyone says that all players have bad reps, listen, I get it. No player in the NFL has never made a mistake or had a bad rep. But for Jackson, it wasn’t about one bad rep or even a few bad reps. A majority of his reps were bad, and it has become a genuine concern for Miami.

Davis struggled as well, but Jackson’s inability to pass protect could derail the Dolphins’ entire season if he does not progress further. Jackson is a young player that needs to progress, and he very well could. But, for now, Jackson’s stock has dropped and dropped significantly.
