Miami Dolphins mini-camp is going to have an interesting cast of characters. Not only did the Dolphins sign Marcus Vick as an undrafted free agent, they have former OT Kyle Turley coming in from injury, to see if he can jump-start his career, this time as a tight end.
Best of luck to Turley. I've heard so much negative things about him, but have heard him give interviews. He's definitely not what some have made him out to be...

Turley tries to return from back problems

Former standout offensive tackle Kyle Turley, who hasn't been in a game since a 2003 playoff loss because of severe back problems, is attempting to revive his career at the Miami Dolphins' mini-camp this weekend.
As a tight end.
Turley, 30, is an unsigned veteran invitee to the three-day camp, which began on Friday and is principally for rookies. His participation in the camp, which also includes veteran free agent linebacker Barrett Green and undrafted Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick, was first reported by the South Florida Sun Sentinel and subsequently confirmed through team officials.
Weighing about 40 to 50 pounds less than the 309 pounds at which he played right offensive tackle for six seasons with the New Orleans Saints and St. Louis Rams, and trying to adapt to a new position, Turley is definitely a long shot to earn a contract for training camp.
