Starters: Jelani Jenkins (WLB), Koa Misi (MLB), Chris McCain (SLB)

Backups: Spencer Paysinger, Jordan Tripp, Zach Vigil, Kelvin Sheppard

The starters shouldn’t be a mystery, as this was what the Dolphins were working with last seasonsans Philip Wheelerand Chris McCain was impressive enough in his rookie season that it’s easy to envision him winning the final starting linebacker spot.

As for the bench, Spencer Paysinger will likely take over the special teams ace role from Jason Trusnik, while Zach Vigil looks to be Miami’s likeliest UDFA to stick with the team due to his skill sethe can play middle linebacker as well as on the outsideand impressive play during rookie camp.

There will be plenty of competition for him, though, as other UDFAs Mike Hull, Jeff Luc and Neville Hewitt have shown sparks as well. With that said, Vigil has been the most consistent.
