Dolphins give second chance to first-round draft bust
Christian Petersen / Getty ImagesDAVIE, Fla. - Days after he was cut by the team that drafted him in the first round, the Miami Dolphins are giving defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche a second chance. Miami signed Nkemdiche, 25, on Thursday and immediately placed him on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list. Nkemdiche was the first-round draft pick, 29th overall, of the Cardinals in 2016, but never lived up to his potential in three injury-filled seasons in Arizona. While injuries have played a role in Nkemdiche's less-than-stellar NFL career, he has also had troubles off the field. Nkemdiche was considered to be a top talent coming out of college, but his stock in the NFL Draft dropped quickly after an incident in which he fell from the fourth-floor of an Atlanta hotel.
