Why are Miami Dolphins rookies walking around the city? Photos show what they are seeing

The Miami Dolphins 2022 rookie class is spending time off the field to get familiar with the city.

The rookies, who were drafted a few months ago, recently took a historic tour of downtown Miami with community groups, including the Miami Police Athletic League and the Islamic Center of Greater Miami.

The tour in mid-June began at the HistoryMiami museum in downtown Miami. They passed through Miami Metromover’s Riverwalk stop and crossed the Brickell Avenue bridge.

Soon they will be at Hard Rock Stadium, sprinting, tackling — and trying to make the team.
