The Miami Dolphins made a ton of changes with the new regime coming in. Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley tore the Dolphins roster apart, but they still made a few additions.

Most notably, the Dolphins added Malik Willis as their starting quarterback. But after the Tyreek Hill release and the Jaylen Waddle trade, the Dolphins desperately needed WR help, and after the draft, they still do. QB depth is also worth exploring as well post-draft.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Dolphins are bringing in Florida State quarterback Tommy Castellanos for a rookie minicamp invite to try to make the Dolphins roster. But, it's for a very surprising reason, as this tryout isn't as a QB.

Dolphins host Tommy Castellanos for unexpected NFL opportunity

"Interesting one: Florida State QB Tommy Castellanos has accepted an invite to Titans rookie minicamp, but he'll be listed as a WR, per sources," Schultz reports. "I'm told he also plans to attend the Dolphins rookie minicamp. That will also be as a WR."

The Dolphins are bringing the Florida State QB in-state for the rookie minicamp, but it won't be as a quarterback. Instead, Castellanos will try out as a wide receiver.

After throwing for 2,760 yards and 15 touchdowns with six interceptions this past season for the Seminoles, Castellanos is now trying to break into the NFL as a receiver.
