Scouting report from the Miami Herald: “(RB) Jay Ajayi (No. 23, Boise State, averaging 8.1 yards a carry) continues to impress with his downhill-running approach, which is a welcome change of pace from Lamar Miller’s speed and slashing style. The Dolphins are averaging 102 rushing yards per game since Ajayi came off the short-term injured reserve list. ... The run game is better.’’

MARTIN LIKES ASTRONOMY?

In an online chat with Bucs fans last week, RB Doug Martin (No. 22, Boise State) answered a question about what he does outside of work: “I enjoy going on YouTube and looking at a bunch of random videos. I’ve been getting really into astronomy, studying galaxies and black holes and interstellar travel and stuff like that.”
