Matt Haack, Miami Dolphins (2nd Season)

One of the three former Arizona State football players on the Miami Dolphins, Matt Haack is now in his second season as Miami’s starting punter. Last year, he appeared in all 16 games while getting off 83 punts — 30 inside the 20-yard line.

This season, he has appeared in both games for the Dolphins, punting 10 times.

He was a four-year player for Arizona State from 2013 to 2016.

Brock Osweiler, Miami Dolphins (6th Season)

Osweiler had a great junior season at Arizona State, throwing 26 touchdowns and leading the Sun Devils to wins over two ranked teams (No. 21 Missouri and No. 23 USC). While they fell apart down the stretch, the team was ranked for a large part of the season, reaching as high as No. 18. After the season, he was drafted in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

From there, it’s been a rollercoaster ride for Brock. He was a big part of the Denver Broncos’ win in Super Bowl 50, thus landing him a huge contract with the Houston Texans prior to the 2016 season. Unfortunately, he never lived up to the deal and he’s bounced around since.

Nowadays, Osweiler is the No. 2 quarterback in Miami behind Ryan Tannehill.

He’s thrown 31 touchdowns and 27 interceptions in 42 career NFL games. Hopefully, this Arizona State football great can find his footing and make another run at a starting job.
