The Facts: Walton is getting a second chance in a familiar locale. The Miami Dolphins signed the embattled running back on Sunday after hosting Walton for a tryout.
Diehards Line:Walton, a fourth-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2018, was waived in early April following three arrests within a year of entering the league. The 21-year-old was invited to Miami's rookie minicamp this weekend for a tryout and told reporters on Saturday that he was thankful for the opportunity. "I'm trying to leave an impression on the coaches. I'm trying to leave a lasting mark on them," Walton told reporters, per the South Florida Sun Sentinel. "I can't really say too much about the other stuff [off] the field. But I know what I got to do while I'm here. That's all I can talk about right now." A former Miami Hurricanes player, Walton recorded 19 touches for 75 yards in his first year in the league. In Miami, he'll enter a running back room already populated by Kenyan Drake, Kalen Ballage, Myles Gaskin, Kenneth Farrow and Patrick Laird.
