The Dolphins plan to give second-year UDFA Zach Vigil first-team snaps at middle linebacker this offseason.
The ‘Fins are moving on from Kelvin Sheppard, and liked what they saw from Vigil in 145 snaps this season. However, reporter Barry Jackson expects a “veteran pickup or high draft pick” to eventually get the starting job in the middle. Either way, Vigil’s spot on the 53-man roster looks like it will be secure for 2016.
