Jonah Savaiinaea

No. 72 · 2nd season

Savaiinaea gets a second shot, and this time the position fits

Rookie years can be a lot of things. For Jonah Savaiinaea, his first season with the Miami Dolphins was mostly a lesson in what wasn't working.

Savaiinaea came in with something to prove and left year one with more questions than answers. The details of what went wrong aren't a mystery to the people in that building — and now they're doing something about it.

Heading into his second season, Savaiinaea is switching positions. The Dolphins are also installing a new offensive system, which means the slate is about as clean as it gets without actually starting over. A new scheme, a new role, and a player who has already seen what the league looks like when things don't click.

That combination can go a few ways. But the fact that Miami is building the change into the new system — not working around him — says something about what they think is still there.
