No, I’m not saying it’s Eric Rowe! But maybe it is!
Yesterday, I gave everyone fair warning that I may start posting a thread a day to get back into the swing of things and to count down the days until the Miami Dolphins officially embark on year three under Brian Flores’s tutelage.
So, if we were 22 days away from the start of camp yesterday, that would mean today is? ___
Tres Bien!
Here are three of the best players to ever rock the #21 in Miami Dolphins history. (Am I missing anyone?) And for as much as I would like to pretend it is Eric Rowe, there’s only one player worthy of that number.
Running Back, Jim Klick
Safety, Eric Rowe
#dolphins DB eric rowe signed a 3 year, $18M extension on monday. rowe has been outstanding since making the move to safety—most notably at defending TEs. on sunday, rowe matched up with eagles TE zach ertz and held him to 0 catches on two targets.

Who wore the #21 best? Does anyone come close to Jim Klick? Much like with Mercury Morris yesterday, even I understand how great these players of yesteryear were, even if I don’t necessarily baste in the smashmouth football reigned supreme.
Actually, maybe the better question is which defensive back wore the #21 best.
Eric Rowe?
Brent Grimes?
Heck, we can even throw Vontae Davis in the mix. But only after we consult with his grandma. (SICK BURN!)
But seriously, who was the best Miami Dolphins player to ever wear the #22? Let us know in the comments section below!
