Last season, the Miami Dolphins brought in an undrafted cornerback from Texas A&M-Commerce who would have to fight way onto the roster.
Kader Kohou did exactly that, eventually moving up to the team’s second cornerback, opposite Xavien Howard, partially because of his talent and partially because of injuries to the rest of the group.
Now, as he prepares for his second season with higher expectations, Kohou has a new jersy number. The cornerback shared on his Instagram story that he would no longer be wearing No. 28. Instead, he’ll rock No. 4 – a number that was worn by Thomas Morstead in 2022.
Going into 2023, Kohou is expected to be the third or fourth cornerback on the roster after Jalen Ramsey was traded to Miami, and Nik Needham was brought back on a one-year deal.
He’ll have an opportunity to prove that his first season wasn’t a fluke, and he’ll try to do so with a single digit on his aqua and orange jersey.
