Javon Nanton brings Miami a sturdy, pressure-generating edge presence
Nanton is a senior defensive end who logged a full 12-game season and opened the year as a starter, showing enough reliability to stay in the rotation and enough burst to create pressure, with 5 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and 3 QB pressures in his early-season action. At 6-3 and 241 pounds, he looks like a disciplined, assignment-safe fit for a defense that values steadiness, edge setting, and occasional disruption rather than just splash plays. The biggest draw is his experience and availability; the question is whether he can translate that into more consistent backfield impact.
