The Miami Dolphins like to brag about the fact they have the second-youngest roster in the NFL.
Now the team's executive can also brag about the fact they have two Dolphins selected for the NFL.com's all-under 25 team, which you can check out at this link.
Second-year center Mike Pouncey, the Dolphins' 2012 first-round pick, was chosen for the all-under 25 team because of his two impressive seasons as a starter in Miami.
The write up under Pouncey's selections read: "Mike and Maurkice Pouncey are both stud centers, but the nod here goes to the less-heralded twin. He is particularly strong in pass protection, allowing just 1.25 sacks all season."
Starting strong safety Reshad Jones, who contributing 94 tackles, four interceptions, two forced fumbles and one sack in his second year as a starter, also made NFL.com's all-under 25 team.
Jones, who turns 25 later this month, finished 2012 ranked by ProFootballFocus.com as the NFL's third best safety, coming in behind San Diego's Eric Weddle and Buffalo's Jarius Byrd, who for the record turns 27 in October.
Pouncey, who turns 24 in July, spent most of the season as ProFootballFocus.com's top rated center, but his productivity dropped off in the season's final month. He finished the year ranked as the NFL's eighth best center, allowing two sacks, two hits and three hurries.
The Dolphins are one of five teams with two or more players on the NFL.com under-25 team.
