MiamiDolphins.com has a feature on former Kentucky linebacker Micah Johnson and his early battles to make it to the NFL. The story profiles Johnson’s disappointment with not getting drafted, his brief time with the New York Giants and his excitement with making the Miami Dolphins’ final roster. Here’s what Johnson had to say in the story about finally making it: “My attitude towards it was kind of like, ‘What do I have to lose?’ And I just wanted to come out here and perform,” Johnson said. “I knew that if the Dolphins would give me an opportunity then I felt like I’d be able to showcase myself because I never really doubted myself as a football player. I think it was evident I could play football based on what I did in college and talking with (General Manager) Jeff Ireland and (Executive Vice President of Football Operations) Bill Parcells they said that I would have an opportunity and they gave me that opportunity. So I’m just thankful to the whole organization.”- He’s not expected to have a major impact on Saturday’s game, but it is interesting to note that former Wildcat Jacob Tamme’s brother will suit up for Western Kentucky. Seth Tamme, a senior out of Danville, Ky., plays wide receiver for the Hilltoppers. Tamme is not listed on the depth chart at wide receiver but is the team’s holder on field goals.- We’ve got another Twitter addition for those of you on the social network.
