Former FSU Standout Defensive Tackle Works Out With Miami Dolphins

NFL preseason is right around the corner for most teams, as the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns just played in the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday night. Former Florida State defensive tackle Marvin Wilson is still looking for a home ahead of the season.

Wilson worked out with the Miami Dolphins on Saturday, according to NFL Insider Tom Pelissero.

The defensive tackle has two years of experience under his belt, but he's only appeared in two games in his career. He played with the Philadelphia Eagles in his first two seasons, racking up seven total tackles in his short amount of playing time.

Wilson was waived from the Eagles following the NFL Draft, where the team drafted Jalen Carter. The team has more than enough depth at the position, and there was no longer room on the roster for the former Seminole.

Initially, Wilson went undrafted and joined the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent before not making the final roster. He's dealt with similar adversity before as he tries to land on his feet once again.

The 24-year-old had a solid collegiate career with Florida State, racking up 109 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and 9.5 sacks over his four-year career. In his final two seasons with the team, he picked up All-ACC honors.

It's more likely that Wilson lands on the Dolphins' practice squad rather than the final roster, but he will be able to compete for depth at the defensive tackle position for the team.

At 6-foot-5, 305 pounds, Wilson could realistically fight for a backup roster spot that allows him to make the final cut, but it'd take a strong showing as he's a bit behind the other backups that have already been with the team throughout the beginning of camp.
