#1) Erik Ezukanma – WR:

When Erik Ezukanma was drafted I wrote in a previous article that he would be a great threat to Preston Williams for the ‘big body WR’ job, many fans were excited about the pick but many told me was “just a guy.”

Erik Ezukanma had an incredible draft profile, and resume at Texas Tech:

“Just a guy, might not make the team.”

He showed flashes in OTA and rookie mini-camp:

“Just a guy, he won’t do anything when the vets come in.”

He turned into one of the highlights and breakout players for the Miami Dolphins during camp:

“Just a guy, he won’t be able to do this in the game”

Erik Ezukanma went out there and became a safety blanket for QBs vs the Las Vegas Raiders. No matter where they threw it if it was in the vicinity of Erik Ezukanma he went up and made a play for it.

I know many Miami Dolphins fans will tell me it’s just pre-season and he won’t do this vs real elite competition, look out because Erik Ezukanma has ‘that DAWG in em’

Erik Ezukanma – By the Numbers vs Raiders:

  • 8 Targets
  • 6 Catches
  • 114 Yards
  • 4 1st downs
  • 93.8 PFF grade
