The Miami Dolphins had a day off on Thursday, so fans were losing their minds wondering who would be next in line to wear the highly sought-after orange jersey. On Tuesday, Defensive lineman Zach Seiler wore the jersey, followed by QB1 Tua Tagovailoa on Wednesday.
Today, Miami Dolphins outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel was spotted wearing the iconic orange practice jersey. And one can only assume his playlist consisted of a heavy helping of Guns ‘N Roses, Iron Maiden, and maybe some AC/DC.

In 2021, Van Ginkel recorded 71 total tackles and four sacks for the Dolphins. This season, AVG will hope to elevate his game to the next level. Not only because he needs to earn valuable reps over some of Miami’s other pass-rushers, but because he’s headed into a contract year. And if he’s hoping to maximize his value with the Dolphins — or any other team — he will want to prove he’s a critical piece in Josh Boyer’s defense.
Landing the orange jersey before some of the other pass-rushers on the roster is the first step in AVG’s breakout (?) 2022 Season.
