Former Miami Dolphins linebacker Mike Kolen, who played a significant role in the team’s legendary undefeated season in 1972, passed away at the age of 76, as confirmed by Auburn University and the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. Kolen, a standout at Auburn University, joined the Dolphins in 1970 and quickly became a key player, starting every game at right linebacker during his rookie season. He played a pivotal role in Miami’s historic run, which included a perfect 14-0 regular season and a victory in Super Bowl VII over the Washington Redskins. Despite being drafted in the 12th round, Kolen’s impact on the field was undeniable, earning him recognition as a key member of the renowned “No Name Defense” that anchored the Dolphins’ championship teams.

The Miami Dolphins have undergone significant changes in recent days, both in terms of additions and departures, as they strive to enhance their football roster. While they have welcomed new talent, they have also bid farewell to key players whose contributions will be missed. Offensively, the Dolphins have strengthened their lineup with the acquisitions of Aaron Brewer at center and Jonnu Smith at tight end. However, uncertainties remain regarding the two guard positions, and there is a need for additional depth at the wide receiver position.
