Position battles loom as training camp approaches for the Miami Dolphins. Sure, the top three receiver spots are set with Jarvis Landry, DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills, but who will round out the rest of the positions on the Dolphins depth chart?

Of the players competing for available roster spots, five have a compelling case in the Dolphins crowded receiver group.

At the end of last season, Leonte Carroo found himself a healthy scratch from the active roster. He was replaced by undrafted rookie free agent Rashawn Scott, who is also vying for a spot. Scott’s size and special team contributions might give him the upper hand in the battle, despite Carroo’s draft pedigree. Carroo, however, has dedicated this offseason to honing his craft, shedding weight to lock down the fourth receiver spot.

Special teams prowess is the most likely avenue to secure one of the receiver roster spots. Jakeem Grant spent much of his rookie year as a returner for the Dolphins, but he did struggle with muffed punts.

Grant has worked throughout the offseason to improve those return skills. Dolphins head coach Adam Gase also has plans to expand his role in the offense.

While Carroo, Scott and Grant are all returning players, a pair of newcomers will also strive for one of those roster spots. Seventh-round pick Isaiah Ford comes to Miami after a productive career at Virginia Tech. Gase anticipates a significant adjustment for the rookie, but Ford impressed throughout OTAs (organized team activities) and minicamp.

Undrafted rookie free agent Drew Morgan arrives from Arkansas as a slot receiver prospect and potential punt returner. Morgan, a precise route runner, is quick and sure-handed. His path to the roster might be via special teams, but his standout performance at OTAs hint at greater possibilities.

Of these five, Grant and Scott seem to have an inside track to a roster spot because of their value on special teams. That fact appears to favor Morgan as well. Ford might be earmarked for a practice squad spot, leaving Carroo as potentially an odd-man out of this group.
