While the Miami Dolphins have made several changes to their roster this offseason, one defender that's stuck around is making a small change of his own before the 2026 season.
According to the team website, Dolphins defensive lineman Kenneth Grant is changing his jersey number. After wearing No. 90 as a rookie, the 2025 first-round pick is going back to No. 78, which he wore at Michigan.
Grant had a ton of success in No. 78 with the Wolverines, earning All-Big Ten honors twice and All-American honors once. He also won a national championship in just his second collegiate season.
His rookie year was a bit underwhelming, as he played 52% of the team's defensive snaps in 17 games and recorded 33 tackles, five quarterback hits, two sacks and a pass defensed. He's hoping that the switch back will help him recapture the play that made him a first-round pick.
Miami's best No. 78 in team history, Richmond Webb, wore it from 11 seasons from 1990-2000, while making seven Pro Bowls to start his career. James Daniels wore it last year for Week 1 before suffering a season-ending injury just three snaps into the game.
