When Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel thinks about the transition wide receivers have to make from college to the NFL, he considers the nuances. He will see a wideout who is supposed to line up off the line of scrimmage overemphasize and set up 4 yards away and be reminded of how long the acclimation period can be in the pros.
That’s made the emergence of Erik Ezukanma, a fourth-round pick, in the first week of training camp all the more satisfying.
“I’ve been very encouraged with how he’s handled himself and corrected things,” McDaniel said. “The mistakes are changing, they’re not the same ones and that’s what you want. So I’m happy about that.”
