Scouting report

Summary

Kenneth Grant enters Year 2 as a 22-year-old defensive lineman for the Miami Dolphins, trending upward with a 49.3% average defensive snap percentage. He recorded 15 solo tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, and 1 pass defensed in 2025 on a 49.3% snap share, a profile with modest upside and low injury risk.

Projection Rationale

Grant’s 49.3% defensive snap percentage and 15 solo tackles demonstrate a moderate role within the Dolphins’ 4-3 scheme under Anthony Weaver. His 2 sacks and 2 tackles for loss on 17 games support a floor around 4-6 sacks and 10-12 tackles for loss in 2026, with upside from increased snap share or scheme adjustments to emphasize his pass-rush skills.

Injury Risk

Grant carried full participation in practice across all reported injury checks in 2025 — a clean injury history, with no missed games or DNPs recorded. As a rotational defensive lineman, Grant’s moderate workload (49.3% average snap percentage) should mitigate injury risk.

Opportunity Notes

Grant’s snap percentage trended upward throughout the season, with 5 of 14 weeks logging above 50% defensive snaps. He faces competition from veteran Raekwon Davis but has shown a consistent role within the Dolphins’ 4-3 scheme, with no clear QB2 threat on the depth chart.

Scheme Fit Analysis

The Dolphins’ 4-3 scheme under Anthony Weaver emphasizes zone coverage and run stopping, which plays to Grant’s strengths as an inside pass rusher and run defender. As a rotational defensive lineman, Grant should see moderate snap share and increased opportunities within this scheme.

Trend Assessment

Rising Grant’s snap percentage trended upward throughout 2025, with 5 of 14 weeks logging above 50% defensive snaps.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling clears 2025’s 10 tackle for loss baseline if Grant increases snap share past 50%, potentially reaching 15-20 tackles for loss. Floor tracks near 5-7 sacks and 10-12 tackles for loss given his rotational role and moderate workload.

Comparable Player

His inside pass rush and run-stopping skills draw comparisons to 2020 Grady Jarrett in Atlanta — both players excel in zone-heavy schemes with 4-3 base defenses, leveraging their size and quickness to occupy blockers.
