Linebacker With Local Ties Signs With Miami Dolphins
August 16, 2012
A linebacker with local ties signed Wednesday with the Miami Dolphins.
Josh Linam, son of Atmore resident Kevin Linam, joins Miami after being released by the San Diego Chargers on an injury waiver. He had sprained his ankle and bruised a bone during training in Orlando.
Tampa Bay called a few days into rehab, Kevin Linam said. Then Tuesday he received the call from Miami and worked out just three hours with the Dolphins before being signed on Wednesday.
Linam will wear number 89 and play middle linebacker for the Dolphins. He will join Miami against the Carolina Panthers Friday at 7 p.m. CDT.
He originally was signed by San Diego on April 30, 2012, as an undrafted free agent from the University of Central Florida. He played in 50 career games in college, finishing with 165 tackles, three sacks, six pass breakups, three forced fumbles and three interceptions. Linam attended Tavares High School, where he earned four letters in football.

Congrats Josh!! We are praying for you and we hope you have a great career with the dolphins!- Your cousin
Congrats man, looking forward to seeing you on the field making big plays.
Dolphin fans haven’t had much to cheer about in the last 13 years since Dan Marino #13 retired, but I am re-energized this year with a new head Coach and a first round QB draft pick.
Finfans check out “Hard Knocks” on HBO, they are following the Dolphins through training camp.
Congrats! My boyfriend and I are HUGE Dolphins fans. We will look for you on the field. Glad to know a local is playing for our favorite team. Good Luck!
P.S. – If you could get me some autographs that would be great!
Congrats! I wish you great success!
I guess this means that as an Atmore resident now-a-days, that I will be rooting for the Dolphins…….unless they’re playing the Saints, or the Lions, or the Cowboys, or the Steelers, or the Packers, or the Jets now that Tebow is a Jet.
