Dolphins Invite Former FSU QB to Minicamp \u2013 But There\u2019s a Catch<\/p>\n
The Miami Dolphins have invited former UCF, Boston College, and Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos<\/a> to their rookie minicamp on a tryout basis. The kicker is \u2013 he won\u2019t be a quarterback. Castellanos is participating in Miami and Tennessee\u2019s camp as a slot receiver.<\/p>\n He is an undersized quarterback with limited arm talent, but he is a super juiced athlete on the ground. He recorded over 1100 rushing yards as a sophomore at Boston College. He was reportedly cross-training as a quarterback and wide receiver prior to the NFL Draft and had talks with teams about a position switch at his pro day.<\/p>\n Miami needed to bolster its receiver room in the NFL Draft, and it did that by drafting Caleb Douglas<\/a>, Chris Bell<\/a>, and Kevin Coleman Jr.<\/a><\/p>\n The invitation for Castellanos to try out for the team is something born of curiosity. His athleticism can be something of use for a team to stash on their practice squad. Castellanos being open to a position switch is proof that he has a good attitude and is doing whatever it takes to play pro football.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dolphins Invite Former FSU QB to Minicamp \u2013 But There\u2019s a Catch The Miami Dolphins have invited former…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":247921,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-247920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
