Micah Leon's seven
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Micah Leon watched the last day of the NFL draft at home, his phone nearby.
He was hoping for the best (getting drafted late) and prepared for the worst (no call from any team). He was relieved with something in between.
The Miami Dolphins reached out during the final round, extending Leon an invitation to a two-day rookie minicamp that starts Friday.
This was what the 24-year-old Leon wanted, a chance to finally show what few outsiders got to see during his seven years — yes, seven — in college as a walk-on quarterback at North Carolina State, UConn and Florida.
Could he really make the pros?
“I feel like I can kind of blow past people’s expectations,” Leon told The Associated Press. “I’m excited for that.”
Calling Leon a long shot would be an understatement. His college career included two mop-up appearances with these stats: completing 12 of 16 passes for 78 yards.
