The Miami Dolphins' first-round selection of nose tackle Kenneth Grant has sparked varied reactions from analysts and experts. ESPN's Mel Kiper highlighted concerns about Grant's weight fluctuations and endurance, indicating that while he displays disruptive potential, his performance can suffer when he plays too high. Coach Nick Saban praised Grant's dominant play alongside teammates, emphasizing his power and athleticism. Contrastingly, Kirk Herbstreit noted Grant's traditional size as an interior lineman, reflecting a trend of the Dolphins reinforcing their defensive line after last year's pick. Additionally, Desmond Howard shared a personal detail about Grant's family background.
I had him 30 on the big board. You look at the fluctuation - both weight, he gets a little heavy - and endurance, stamina.
These two guys are really, really good. You're talking about power, athleticism, and guys who play hard and compete well.
He's almost more of an old school interior guy with just his behemoth size at 6-3, 240.
The big fella told me a couple days ago he has four sisters, four older sisters.
