Dolphins Agree to Terms With 2nd Round LB Koa Misi

Jeff Darlington of the Miami Herald reports that the Miami Dolphins have agreed to terms with second-round linebacker Koa Misi.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

A starter in 36 of his 38 games at the University of Utah, making starts at each spot along the defensive line, including nose tackle.

The 6-3, 251-pounder totaled 205 tackles, including 26 for a loss and 10.5 quarterback sacks, with six forced fumbles, eight pass break-ups, and three fumble recoveries, one he returned 28 yards for a touchdown. Misi was a two-time All-Mountain West Conference selection, picking up first-team honors after starting games at defensive end.

Misi possesses decent speed, but is an explosive athlete, posting a 38” vertical leap and 10’07” broad jump at the 2010 Scouting Combine. An instinctual player, Misi will play outside linebacker for Dolphins, where he’s expected to start immediately after the off-season departures of Jason Taylor and Joey Porter.

With Misi agreeing to terms, the Dolphins will open training camp with all of their 2010 draft picks under contract.
