Time with the Dolphins
In March 2016, Isa Abdul-Quddus signed a contract with the Miami Dolphins. This was a three-year deal. He had a great first season with the Dolphins. He started 15 games, which means he was on the field at the very beginning of most games.
He made a career-high 78 tackles that season. Tackles are when a defensive player stops an offensive player who has the ball. He also defended five passes and made two interceptions. An interception is when a defensive player catches a pass meant for an offensive player. He also had one sack, which is when a defensive player tackles the quarterback.
Later in December 2016, Isa was placed on injured reserve. This happened after he got a neck injury during a game. In March 2017, the Dolphins released him from the team.
