The Miami Dolphins made significant changes at inside linebacker early in free agency, starting with the departure of Jerome Baker after six seasons. Miami was proactive, acquiring both Jordyn Brooks and Anthony Walker Jr. on the first day of legal tampering.
Walker, who served as a defensive captain for the Cleveland Browns, emphasized the importance of consistency and deliberate work ethic in his leadership style. With experience from both the Indianapolis Colts and the Browns, Walker brings a seasoned presence to the Dolphins’ defense.
While Brooks is expected to start alongside David Long Jr., depth remains a priority for Miami. Walker expressed confidence in the linebacker room’s talent but acknowledged the challenge of translating individual skills into collective success.
Returning home to Miami was a welcomed opportunity for Walker, who sought relief from the cold Midwest weather. Despite the appeal of being back home, Walker remains focused on continuing to play at the highest level and contributing to the Dolphins’ success on the field.
