Miami Gardens: So, Andrew Meyer had a pretty quiet rookie season with the Dolphins. Most fans probably remember the funny comment from GM Chris Grier about him looking like a truck driver. But there’s more to the story.
Meyer, who just turned 25, didn’t get to play in many games last season. He was inactive for 14 out of 17 games, which is tough for any player. Still, the Dolphins saw something in him during training camp and preseason, so they kept him on the roster.
He’s grateful for that. Meyer mentioned that it shows the team believes he has potential. He’s ready to prove himself and hopes to get a chance to play soon. The Dolphins see him as a center but think he could also fill in at guard if needed.
Grier has praised Meyer for his toughness and intelligence. Meyer feels he’s on the right track and plans to keep working hard. With some guards possibly leaving in free agency, he’s got a shot to step up in the next season.
Meyer has learned a lot from watching the veterans around him. He’s picked up tips on how to be a pro, both on and off the field. He values the advice he’s received from experienced players like Terron Armstead.
In a light-hearted moment, Meyer joked about preferring long drives over flying home. It’s clear he’s committed to making the most of his time with the Dolphins.
