The Pro Football Writers of America announced their
All-NFL
Football
Isaiah Prince Jersey , All-AFC/NFC, and All-Rookie teams on Tuesday, with
a couple of Miami Dolphins landing on the lists. For the All-AFC Team, Miami was
represented by cornerback Xavien Howard, while the All-Rookie team included
kicker Jason Sanders. A surprising name not listed for the Dolphins was rookie
defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick.Howard tied for the league lead in
interceptions this season with seven, despite missing the final four games of
the year with a knee injury. He was selected to his first Pro Bowl and finished
the year with 35 tackles, one fumble recovery, 12 passes defensed, and the seven
interceptions. He was asked by the Dolphins to shadow the top receivers of teams
throughout the year, and he is quickly becoming a shutdown cornerback. He is
joined at cornerback on the All-AFC Team by Stephon Gilmore from the New England
Patriots, who also made the All-NFL Team.Sanders was 18-for-20 in field goals
this year, along with a 35-for-36 mark in extra points. His 90-percent field
goal conversion rate was the fifth best in team
history

Jay Feely in 2007 and matched by Cody Parkey in 2017, the 90.5 percent mark from
Olindo Mare in 2001, and the 90.3 percent conversion from Mare in 2000. Sanders’
only missed field goals came against the Detroit Lions on a 46-yard attempt with
less than a minute to go in the game and Miami trailing by 11 and against the
Jacksonville Jaguars on a 47-yard attempt in the second quarter.Fitzpatrick, who
starred anywhere Miami played him throughout the season, is surprisingly not on
the All-Rookie list. His play time split as a slot cornerback, a boundary
cornerback, and a free safety may have split his votes and led to the omission.
The All-Rookie Team cornerbacks were Jaire Alexander from the Green Back Packers
and Denzel Ward from the Cleveland Browns. The Cincinnati Bengals’ Jessie Bates
and the Los Angeles Chargers’ Derwin James were selected as the All-Rookie
safeties.The Splash Zone 9/1/18: Dolphins Begin Roster Purge Coaches dread the
53 man roster cut down after the final preseason game. After spending months
with these players, it makes it tough to release some of these guys. Some of
these players will go on to play for other teams or land on a practice squad.
Others will never play another down of football again. The Dolphins began their
cut down with the release of kicker Greg Joseph who had a solid preseason.
Another early release was veteran tight end Gavin Escobar.You can check out that
