Kalen Ballage

Mark Walton has seized on his second NFL opportunity after losing his first. And the hope, for both Walton and the Dolphins, is that the best is yet to come.

Cut by the Cincinnati Bengals after three arrests and modest production in a limited role as a rookie, Walton has impressed the Dolphins in his first five months here and comes off the best game of his young career.

Against the Chargers in Week 4, Walton had 23 yards on six carries and caught two passes for 11 yards while playing more snaps than starting running back Ballage, who never re-appeared after dropping a pass for the third time this season. The story said all three RBs will still be involved in the offense, but at this point the rebuilding Dolphins may continue to give Walton more chances.
