When the Miami Dolphins signed wide receiver Drew Morgan days after this year’s draft, many considered the former Arkansas Razorback a longshot to make the final roster. While the 6-0, 193 pound Morgan has long odds of making it to the 53-man roster, Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said in a press conference on Thursday that Morgan is improving his chances.

“I think he has a really good sense of how to play the position we’re asking him to play and it gives him a great opportunity because when we hit the preseason games, now it’s going to be about making plays when we get in real games,” Gase said. “When you have an undrafted rookie who came in here with … Nobody even probably knew who he really was coming in here, and he’s put himself on the map and competed.”

Morgan was a two-year starter for the Razorbacks (2015-16). He finished his career with 138 receptions, 1,738 yards and 14 touchdowns. In his final season for the Razorbacks, Morgan led the team in receptions with 65 and was second in receiving years with 739.

During OTAs and minicamp, the Dolphins were using Morgan a lot on special teams as a returner, something that he didn’t have a lot of experience during at Arkansas. Despite only having four punt returns and three kickoff returns at Arkansas, Morgan said he hasn’t gotten rattled.

“I feel comfortable during back there,” Morgan said on Thursday. “I don’t get nervous. Returning is something that I’ve done in college. It’s something I’ve done in college. Didn’t do a whole lot because of the position we were in with receivers going down. It’s a little different with the sun in your eyes instead of at night, but I can get acclimated to it.”
