Dolphins Signing Minicamp Tryout Player

The Miami Dolphins rookie minicamp proved a very good one for at least one participant. Offensive lineman Ireland Brown, one of the 27 players who attended on a tryout, apparently impressed the Dolphins enough that they'll be signing him to a contract, according to NFL reporter Aaron Wilson. Brown played four seasons at Rutgers, the last three on the offensive line after switching over from the defensive line. Brown, who was listed at 6-2, 290 on the Dolphins' rookie minicamp roster, was one of six offensive linemen on a tryout this past weekend, along with second-round pick Patrick Paul and rookie free agent signings Andrew Meyers, Matthew Jones and Bayron Matos, the former college basketball player from the Dominican Republic.
