"The Dolphins certainly hope (Dion remains a trim 264 pounds) because Miami plans to use Sims as the tight end paired with Dustin Keller in the team's two tight ends packages," Kelly wrote.

He is penciled in to line up with the first-team offense during offseason practices while Robert Grifffin III recovers from his knee surgery.

"Le'Veon was really, you know, he was very interesting to us because we looked at him as an NFL back," Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said Thursday on Trib Live Radio. "You know he had 1,700 yards last year and close to 900 of those yards were yards after contact, which indicates the ability to make NFL type runs because the holes in the NFL aren't going to be the same as they are in college. So you saw him make a lot of what we thought were NFL type runs."
