Eugene Asante

Dolphins signed LB Eugene Asante.

Asante (6’0.5/223) falls prey to mental lapses at times, but his high-end speed and agility will make him a considerable special teams weapon in year one. His 1.52-second 10-yard split clocked at the NFL Scouting Combine ties for the positional high. If Asante (24 years old) can improve his decision-making, he can theoretically handle a three-down role, chasing ball carriers on early downs and serving as a part-time blitzer on passing downs. Among 56 Power Five linebackers with at least 100 blitzes over the last two seasons, Asante’s 30.4 percent quarterback pressure rate ranks No. 1 overall and his 14.7 percent pass-rush win rate ties for sixth.
