Scouting report for Miami Dolphins UFA linebacker Zach Vigil

Linebacker Zach Vigil from Utah State has verbally agreed to join the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent. Here is the scouting report for him from the PhinManiacs Draft Guide, courtesy of Jeff Hyde (@Jeff__Hyde).

Zach Vigil was a huge part of the success Utah State had this past season.  He was highly productive and ended the season with an outstanding 145 tackles.  His production was a direct result of his hustle and pursuit of the ball carrier on every play. 

Vigil doesn’t possess any exemplary skills at the next level, but his effort, high character and leadership can be enough to be a third day draft selection for a team looking for those specific traits.

I think he could and should land on a team as a backup or a primary special teams player and become a journey-man role player for a long time in the NFL, similar to Miami Dolphin LB/ST player Jason Trusnik.
