Welcome to NFL summer vacation. With mandatory minicamps wrapping up, players now head out on break until July 22, when the first of the training camps begin.Eric Weddle Jersey

In the meantime, here are 10 things we learned from the latest round of off-season practices.

Miami coach Adam Gase said during a radio interview in May that he wants Ajayi to handle “between 22 and 25” carries per game this season. Perhaps that doesn't sound like a massive number,Justin Tucker Jersey but in terms of an NFL running back's workload it is huge. An average of 25 attempts stretched over a 16-game schedule would put Ajayi right at 400 rushes for the season—just five backs in NFL history (Larry Johnson, Jamal Anderson, James Wilder,C.J. Mosley Jersey Eric Dickerson and Eddie George) have hit that number. Ezekiel Elliott and Le'Veon Bell led the league last season in attempts and attempts per game, respectively, with 322 and 21.Elvis Dumervil Jersey8.

On top of his run-game workload, though, Ajayi also wants to be more involved as a receiving threat. ESPN's James Walker reports that “catching the ball out of the backfield became a major focus during Ajayi's off-season training,” a year after the Boise State product hauled in 27 passes for a paltry 151 yards (5.6 yards per reception).

The Dolphins will have to draw a line in the sand,Joe Flacco Jersey somewhere. Ajayi handled 287 touches last season, way up from the 56 he had as a rookie. And Gase said midway through the 2016 campaign that he needed to keep an eye on Ajayi's touches, because the back's physical style naturally adds to his wear and tear. (Ajayi dropped in the 2015 draft due to concerns over the long-term health of his knee, which he injured early in his college career.)
