Dolphins sign Mel Blount's son Jibri Blount

The Miami Dolphins announced Thursday they are signing former North Carolina Central basketball standout Jibri Blount as a free agent tight end. Blount, the son of former Steelers star defensive back Mel Blount, didn't play college football, but will be the latest former college hoops star to get a shot at playing tight end in the NFL.
"Plot twist… I'm in the NFL!" Blount wrote on Instagram along with a photo of himself donning Dolphins apparel. The 6-foot-7 former Cleveland State and North Carolina Central basketball player enjoyed a breakout season as a redshirt senior during the 2019-20 season and was named the MEAC basketball Player of the Year after averaging 19.1 points and 9.3 rebounds for a team that won the MEAC regular-season title.
