Dolphins' Reiger Top UDFA Candidate for Roster Spot

Wisconsin pass rusher Mason Reiger is considered the most likely undrafted free agent to make the Miami Dolphins' initial 53-man roster, according to Bleacher Report and Dolphins Wire.

The Dolphins have significant need at edge defender after trading Jaelan Phillips and cutting Bradley Chubb, creating opportunity for Reiger despite Miami's 13 draft picks. Reiger signed immediately after going undrafted and brings solid athletic ability, ranking third among linebackers in athleticism at the NFL Combine. asg-reflektory.pl

The 6-foot-4 pass rusher is being compared to former Dolphins favorite Andrew Van Ginkel, with similar size, athletic profile and high-motor playing style. Reiger had five sacks in his lone season at Wisconsin after transferring from Louisville, where he recorded eight sacks over three seasons.
