As such, the Dolphins were able to swoop in and claim Ester. Though he has not played in an NFL game yet, Ester appeared made 43 starts in college over five seasons at Northern Illinois (2019-23), recording 121 tackles (50 solo), 20 tackles for a loss, and nine sacks. At 6’3, 289 pounds, he’s slightly on the smaller side for a defensive tackle. However, Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley will know all about Ester and his strengths and weaknesses, having coached him in Green Bay last year.
It’s a low-risk move for Miami in what will likely be a rebuilding year for the organization.
