Jonas Gray to Dolphins: Latest Contract Details, Comments and Reaction

Running back Jonas Gray is known best among football fans as the one-game wonder from the 2014 season, but the Miami Dolphins hope he can find a way to contribute to their 2015 season.

Adam Schefter of ESPN cited agent Sean Stellato and said Gray would sign with Miami's practice squad Sept. 8. However, his time there was short-lived, as the team promoted Gray to the 53-man roster Sept. 11, per Schefter, who again cited Stellato.

The New England Patriots released Gray before the 2015 season when trimming their roster to 53 players, which marked an unceremonious end to his up-and-down career with the defending Super Bowl champions.

He took the league by storm for a single day in 2014 when he dashed the Indianapolis Colts defense in Week 11 to the tune of 201 rushing yards and four touchdowns. Fantasy football players who rushed to the waiver wire to scoop him up were disappointed when he notched only 20 carries for 80 yards and a single touchdown over the remainder of the season.

In all, Gray ended up with 412 rushing yards and five touchdowns in the campaign. His numbers took a turn for the worse after he overslept and missed practice the week after his breakout game and promptly landed on coach Bill Belichick’s bad side. He was a healthy scratch for the Super Bowl victory over the Seattle Seahawks. 

The NFL on CBS visualized the downfall:

However, fans saw his potential during that contest against the Colts. Perhaps a change of scenery will eventually lead to an opportunity to post solid numbers in 2015 and beyond.
