*** DOLPHINS NEWS ***
Jul 11, 1997: -- Lee McClinton Waived --

The Dolphins waived fullback Lee McClinton yesterday, making McClinton the first veteran to get dumped in training camp this season.

This would have been McClinton's third training camp with the Dolphins, having spent last year and the year before on the Dolphins' practice squad during the regular season.

According to a report in the Herald, JJ released McClinton because he's impressed with undrafted rookie free agent fullback Ray Nealy. This release leaves the Dolphins with 4 fullbacks on the roster - Stanley Pritchett, Robert Wilson, Dewayne Dotson and Ray Nealy.

My Comments:

McClinton has been in and out of the Dolphins camp so many times that you have to wonder if he's dizzy. Calling him a veteran is a little misleading, but he's certainly not a rookie.

He's one of those guys who comes out of nowhere that I love to see succeed, but the truth is that most of them don't succeed. Most end up like McClinton.
