When you see Miami Dolphins rookie edge rusher Chop Robinson, the first-round pick from Penn State, utilizing his lightning-quick first step to blow past an offensive tackle and record a sack in training camp practices, that’s reason to get encouraged. When you see Dolphins edge rusher Emmanuel Ogbah dipping into his veteran toolbox and utilizing his speed and strength to record a training camp sack, that’s reason to get very encouraged.
