Miami Dolphins have confirmed their signing of a former college basketball player with the intentions of turning him into a tight end.

Brown never played college basketball, but he did play hoops at NAIA Westminster College in Utah.

Brown, who is 6-foot-4, reportedly impressed NFL scouts at BYU’s Pro Day two weeks ago.

Brown, who weighs 238 pounds, played small forward for Westminster.

With a sprained ankle, Brown reportedly ran a 4.44 in the 40-yard dash, measured a 39-inch vertical jump and posted a 10-3 broad jump. All those measureables are extremely good, no matter the position.

The past two years Brown has reportedly worked in the accounting department for Huntsman Gay Global Capital.

Brown should be able to join the team for their OTA work next week. He’ll become the fifth tight end on the roster, which features Anthony Fasano, Charles Clay, Will Yeatman and Jeron Mastrud.

The Dolphins would like to add depth at the position for training camp purposes, but the team feels they are set at tight end considering Clay and Yeatman possess some upside.

The Dolphins typically keep three tight ends on the 53-man roster, and at least one on the practice squad. However, all four returning tight ends spent all season on the 53-man roster last year.

Considering his level of experience, it is more realistic that Brown is competing for a spot on the practice squad than a role on the 53-man roster, unless he impresses during training camp and the exhibition season.

The last successful basketball to football convert in the NFL was former UM tight end Jimmy Graham, who was taken in the third-round by the New Orleans Saints. But Graham played one season of football for the Hurricanes before entering the draft, and he also started as a power forward in the ACC.
