The NFL preseason begins just as college camps are getting ready, and one team in action this weekend features a number of players from the State of Utah.

The Miami Dolphins appear to be a destination for Beehive State footballers. Players from all three major Utah programs have landed there, and several of them have thrived.

One of the bigger surprises out of Miami's fall camp has been former Utah State defensive back Will Davis. The rookie has been an interception machine in the early phases of fall camp.

Who are Utah players who will participate in this weekend’s action between the Dolphins and the Dallas Cowboys? Read on to find out.
