Stephen Dix Jr. Makes Defensive Calls for Dolphins After Signing

Stephen Dix Jr. made an impactful debut with the Miami Dolphins after signing with the team just one day earlier. Despite not having participated in any training camp, he played a significant role during a preseason game.

During the game, Dix was tasked with making defensive calls, a responsibility highlighted by coach Jeff Hafley, who noted that the team managed to operate with only two calls in the second half. Dix expressed his excitement about the opportunity, describing it as a dream come true to be able to play and contribute.

Previously undrafted from Arkansas, Dix had been signed by the Arizona Cardinals but was released in June. He participated in 34 defensive snaps and two special-teams plays, recording one tackle and two assists. His performance may position him for a spot on the practice squad as he continues to pursue his football career.
