John Clay’s Sidelines

Reports out of Miami tell us that Brian Hartline, wide receiver from Ohio State, is making quite an impression as a fourth-round pick of the Miami Dolphins.

Oh yeah, Brian is also the brother of UK quarterback Mike Hartline.

This from the “Rapid Report” done by CBS Sportsline’s Jeff Shain:

Rookie WR Brian Hartline turned in a standout effort, with two highlight grabs among his four catches. A diving snare of Chad Henne’s deep throw came in 7-on-7; he later outjumped CB Sean Smith for a Chad Pennington pass.

This from the Miami Herald’s Armando Salugero:

Brian Hartline was the most active of any previous practice, catching three passes in one-on-one drills vs. the defensive backs. Fellow rookie Patrick Turner also continues to impress indoors. He beat Will Allen twice in the one-on-ones and one of those went for a TD on a deep pass.
