"After early struggles, he had his most active game in the NFL, with five tackles. But beyond that, he found a more consistent push, plugged gaps and reduced instances he was getting blown off the line of scrimmage. Albeit a brutal game for the Dolphins as a whole, losing, 31-6, to the Cleveland Browns, Grant has now strung together a pair of better outings, notching his first full sack the previous week against the Los Angeles Chargers."
"Comfortability in the scheme and the way we're playing him, as well as some of the technique and fundamentals and kind of working into pro playing shape. I think those are all things that have helped him out. We asked him to do a lot. We've asked him to line up a couple different places, and I think we're seeing some growth, which is encouraging, but he does have a long way to go."
Kenneth Grant, a Miami Dolphins rookie defensive tackle and first-round pick, struggled early but has shown recent improvement. He registered five tackles in a recent game and recorded his first full sack the previous week. Grant demonstrated more consistent push, better gap discipline and fewer instances of being blown off the line of scrimmage. Pro Football Focus had graded him as the league's worst defensive lineman before his uptick. Coaches credited increased comfort in the scheme, growing technique, fundamentals and confidence. Coaches noted positional versatility, continued developmental work and the expectation of further growth despite remaining areas to improve.
