Last year Stanley Pritchett and Zach Thomas became the first Miami rookies since 1990 to start every game. (Rookie cornerback Sam Madison has a shot at doing it this year.) In Don Shula's 26 seasons with the Dolphins, only 10 players started every game of their rookie season; three of them did it in 1970, Shula's first season in Miami.
