Jordyn Brooks Embraces Underdog Mentality for Dolphins' Rebuild
In 2026, the Miami Dolphins are undergoing a roster rebuild with first-year general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks has recognized the negative perceptions surrounding the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Brooks expressed that the Dolphins are viewed as underdogs, with many analysts predicting a poor performance. He noted that opponents do not respect the team, which he believes can be a motivating factor. Despite the skepticism, Brooks is determined to foster a mindset of physicality and toughness within the squad.
Critics have pointed out the Dolphins' lack of depth and have ranked them low in power rankings, with some suggesting they may finish with the fewest wins in the league. Brooks remains optimistic about the team's potential to compete against more talented opponents.
