What film study reveals about Dolphins sixth-round pick Patrick McMorris, where he shines, where he needs work and what his potential role might be as a rookie
The 2024 NFL draft is over, and the Miami Dolphins are hoping their seven-player class can help them take that next step and get over the hump in the playoffs.
McMorris started 40 games in college, but does he have the skills to make the Dolphins roster and contribute? Let’s dive in and see what the film tells us.One of the best things McMorris has going for him is experience playing all three safety spots. He played 357 snaps at free safety, 247 in the box and 171 at slot corner.
His slot reps are pretty hit-and-miss. He possesses good arm length and physicality to match up with tight ends, especially on shallow route concepts. His explosiveness coming downhill allows him to fill his gap with good timing, and he doesn’t shy away from contact. When he’s playing well, McMorris is a legitimate plus against the run. He’s got the length to wrap-up-tackle outside of his frame, and he has good hit power when arriving from depth.
The other problem is he arrives at contact unbalanced. He doesn’t stay square to his target, allowing them to sidestep him and explode into open grass. McMorris’ aggression leads to some big plays, but it also makes him wildly inconsistent.
