Jim Kiick and cornerbacks highlight this list
The countdown to the start of the 2024 regular season has begun now that we're under 100 days away, so we'll honor every day the best players to wear the corresponding number for the Dolphins.
As a reminder about the ground rules, the top three will be determined only by what the players did while wearing that uniform for the Dolphins.
The late Vontae Davis, who sadly passed away this spring, deserves mention as a solid player for MIami. He started 36 games in three years after being a first-round pick in 2009 and had four interceptions in both 2009 and 2011. He went on to earn two Pro Bowl invitations during his time in Indianapolis before he famously retired at halftime of the 2018 season opener when he was a member of the Buffalo Bills. In terms of production, it's tough to beat what Brent Grimes did in Miami.
There are some big-time players at the top of the list of players who wore 21, headed by Hall of Famers Deion Sanders and LaDainian Tomlinson and former Dolphins running back Frank Gore, a likely future Hall of Famer himself. As for Kiick and Grimes, they probably deserve recognition somewhere around the top 20 among all-time 21's.Alain Poupart is the publisher/editor of All Dolphins and co-host of the All Dolphins Podcast.
