Alonso Has Been Banged Up at NFL Level

Injuries have been a dominant theme throughout Alonso's NFL career.

Following his strong rookie season in 2013 with the Buffalo Bills, he tore his left ACL and was out for the entire 2014 campaign. In his first and only year with the Philadelphia Eagles, the 26-year-old suffered a partial tear of the same ACL in September 2015 and missed five games.

Signifying a swift transition out of the Chip Kelly era, the Eagles sent Alonso and Byron Maxwell to the Dolphins for a first-round draft pick.

Alonso's stock fell dramatically after his two knee injuries, which were assumed to ensure he'd never be as good as he was in his first season. Only one of Alonso's 11 appearances in 2015 came in a starting capacity, and he finished with 43 combined tackles, down from 159 in 2013.

But through 11 games in 2016, Alonso led the Dolphins defense with 90 tackles and helped Miami get off to a surprising 7-4 start.
