"The Miami Dolphins are hiring former Green Bay Packers linebackers coach Sean Duggan as their next defensive coordinator, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Sunday. Duggan will join recently hired head coach Jeff Hafley for the fourth time after previously coaching with him at Ohio State, Boston College and in Green Bay."
"Duggan takes over a Dolphins defense that ranked 22nd in yards allowed per game last season and 25th in defensive expected points added. While the unit as a whole will likely undergo changes from a season ago, it features building blocks like defensive tackles Zach Sieler, Kenneth Grant and Jordan Phillips, linebackers Jordyn Brooks, Bradley Chubb and Chop Robinson, and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick."
"Hafley said during his introductory news conference in January that he plans to call defensive plays because it's "important" to him. "It's something that I love to do. It really connects me with that group," Hafley said. "I think it will bring a lot of energy to that side of the football, and I think the details will be exactly how I want them early on as we go.""

The roster includes defensive linemen Zach Sieler, Kenneth Grant and Jordan Phillips; linebackers Jordyn Brooks, Bradley Chubb and Chop Robinson; and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Hafley will retain play-calling duties.
