Every roster, coaching connection between Dolphins and 49ers

The Miami Dolphins are departing for California on Friday, so they can take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon at Levi’s Stadium.

While the two teams don’t play each other all that often (the last time being in 2020), there’s a lot of familiarity between their organizations with a number of players and coaches on both sides having spent time with the other at some point.
