Dolphins have a steal in Thomas: Kansas State running back Daniel Thomas is such a versatile and promising player that the Dolphins gave up three draft picks to land him with a late second-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. Miami was in need of help at running back because Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams both become free agents this offseason. The 6-foot, 230-pound Thomas led the Big 12 Conference in rushing the past two years. He totaled 2,850 yards and 30 touchdowns rushing at Kansas State, and he also made 52 receptions. "What we like about Daniel is he's a physical runner and he's very versatile," general manager Jeff Ireland said. "He's big. He can run. He can catch."

| he was brought to KSU as a QB, then they trained him to be a RB, even used him as a wide out a few times...classy kid, humble, just wants to contribute. the dolphins got a good deal in him....he chatted with my son for 10 minutes on facebook one night, good old fashioned down to Earth kid...glad to see him get a shot at the big show.
