After a down year with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015, Alonso bounced back to record 115 total tackles, one forced fumble and four fumble recoveries in Miami last season. He also played through a significant hand injury, though he actually drew criticism from an opponent over that.
Alonso, 26, was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the second round back in 2013. He was later acquired by his former college coach, Chip Kelly, in a trade that sent him to Philadelphia in exchange for LeSean McCoy before landing with the Dolphins.
