He played in NFL from 2002-05 with Minnesota, Green Bay and Indianapolis before closing his career in 2005, when he played with the Dolphins. Williams, who passed away on May 25, 2010, at the age of 45, was selected by the Dolphins in the second round (42nd overall) of the 1988 NFL Draft. He played in 91 games with 83 starts at safety for the Dolphins from 1988-93. Overall with the Dolphins, Williams recorded 14 interceptions, including one he returned 42 yards for a touchdown in 1990. He played his final NFL season for the N.Y. Giants in 1994.

MIAMI DOLPHINS FOUNDATIONThe Miami Dolphins organization believes that a sports franchise should be measured not only by its performance on the field, but by its performance in the community. To that end, the team created the Miami Dolphins Foundation in 1995. MDF is devoted to creating and supporting signature education, physical fitness, volunteer and youth athletic programs that inspire and engage communities throughout Florida. Under the stewardship of majority owner Stephen Ross, the MDF has reached new levels of community and philanthropic giving. In 2009, MDF donated nearly one million dollars, and, since its inception, has distributed more than $20 million. The Foundations mission is divided into four general categories, including education, volunteerism, youth athletic programs and physical fitness. Under these categories, the team supports several programs that impact fans all over South Florida. The team recognizes that sports figures are often considered role models and takes that responsibility seriously. The Dolphins have the resources and ability to bring attention and funding to needs in the community, and they also have the ability to motivate others to donate their own valuable time and money. Often, the presence of a player or cheerleader or the teams mascot, T.D., can mean even more than a check and the Dolphins use community appearances to not only raise dollars for worthwhile organizations but to draw attention to them as well. Dolphins players many of whom call South Florida home and alumni like Nat Moore and Twan Russell, work daily to ensure the Dolphins have a positive presence across the state. By the end of 2009, members of the Dolphins organization had made more than 800 appearances and touched the lives of over 650,000 people. The Dolphins are also passionate about motivating fans to get involved in their own communities. Early in 2010, MDF launched the Special Teams volunteer unit during the NFL draft. During the draft, the team held a first of its kind telethon with its network partner, CBS-4, to raise volunteer hours for the new program. In the three days of the draft and telethon, fans contributed nearly 30,000 hours of sweat equity to help various foundation projects in South Florida. As of July 2010, over 800 individuals have pledged more than 40,000 volunteer hours towards the Special Teams efforts. Near the end of 2009, the Dolphins held their inaugural Touchdown For Life blood drive at Sun Life Stadium and broke the record for one-day collection in Florida with more than1,000 participants. MDF intends to grow and promote its blood drive program to support critical health care organizations throughout the state. As part of MDFs health and fitness initiative, the team supports the Dolphins Academy and Dol-Fit initiatives led by former Dolphins linebacker and Fort Lauderdale native, Twan Russell. These programs provide physical fitness opportunities for children, teach them the fundamentals of football and instill the importance of exercise, eating healthy and making positive choices. MDF hosts youth events at the stadium, the training facility in Davie and at schools across the state. In total, these programs have impacted more 350,000 boys and girls since 2006. Through its new partnership with Sun Life, the Dolphins have introduced the Rising Star program, a joint education initiative that will award $50,000 grants to four organizations and

For this reason, the Dolphins have partnered with both Broward and Miami-Dade County Public Schools on several extensive programs. In 2008, the Miami Dolphins received the Commissioner of Education Awards for their partnerships with Miami-Dade and Broward County Public Schools. Sunland Park appreciates the selfless and exciting things the Miami Dolphins have and continue to do for our children. They have embraced Sunland Park and impacted our community as well. We are truly blessed by their partnership. They have served as a motivational tool for students to strive towards academic and behavioral success. - Shawn Allen, Principal at Sunland Park Elementary

The Miami Dolphins take great pride in playing an active role in the South Florida community. By lending support to both civic and community based charitable causes, the Dolphins are able to make an impact in the lives of those who need it the most. The assistance that the Dolphins are able to provide comes from the teamwork of coaches, players, alumni, cheerleaders, T.D. (the Dolphins mascot) and front office personnel working together toward the common goals of helping those in need and supporting the community that has always been there to support the Miami Dolphins. When the final chapter of 2009 was written, members of the Dolphins organization made more than 800 community appearances totaling over 2,736 hours and reaching 673,894 of our fellow Floridians. The team said yes to more than 99percent of the requests it received from charitable organizations and distributed 2,600 donations throughout the state.

Dolphins In The Community 11

ALL-COMMUNITY TEAM

For the fifth straight season in 2009, many Miami Dolphins players and coaches made the dreams of underprivileged children come true through the teams All-Community Team program. The Dolphins All-Community Team program allowed players and coaches to purchase a block of tickets to all Miami Dolphins regular season home games and donate them to a charitable organization of their choice. Their chosen charities then distributed the tickets to youth groups or others associated with their organization so the recipients had the chance to experience a Dolphins game at Sun Life Stadium. For every home game, the players and coaches treated each of the guests of the AllCommunity Team with a gameday ticket, an in-game public address announcement and scoreboard mention, in addition to a voucher good for a hot dog, popcorn and a soft drink.

STEPHEN M. ROSSCOLLEGE: Michigan NFL: Third Season DOLPHINS: Third Season

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD/MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER

Stephen M. Ross, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Founder of Related Companies, an international real estate firm, began his ownership interest in the Miami Dolphins in February of 2008 when he became a 50% partner with H. Wayne Huizenga in the team, Sun Life Stadium, and the surrounding developable land. He increased that share to a 95% ownership of the team and the stadium on January 20, 2009 and assumed the responsibility of Managing General Partner of both the Dolphins and the stadium, which culminated one of his long-held dreams; Mr. Ross grew up in South Florida and the Dolphins have been a lifetime passion for him. Under Mr. Ross leadership, the Dolphins have become one of the most fan-friendly teams in the National Football League. They have significantly increased their presence in the South Florida community with a host of new civic and charity initiatives. The team also has improved the game-day experience for their fans by upgrading all facets of stadium operations and by introducing amenities and events that have made Dolphins home games the place to be during the fall. On the football side, Mr. Ross has lived up to his pledge to support Executive Vice President of Football Operations Bill Parcells and his staff in every way possible, working with them to add such talented players as Brandon Marshall and Karlos Dansby to the roster and ensuring that the coaches, staff and players have all of the necessary resources to build a winning team. Mr. Ross, a resident of Palm Beach and New York, formed Related in 1972. Today, the company is considered the most prominent privately owned real estate firm in the United States, with expertise in fund management, development, acquisitions, property management, marketing, and sales. Related has real estate assets worth over $15 billion including the landmark Time Warner Center in New York City and CityPlace in West Palm Beach. Mr. Ross began his career in Detroit, Michigan as a tax attorney and later moved to New York where he specialized in real estate and corporate finance at two investment banking firms immediately prior to founding Related. Mr. Ross graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and from Wayne State University Law School with a Juris Doctor degree. He then received a Master of Laws in Taxation from New York University School of Law. In 2004, the University of Michigan renamed its business school the Stephen M.

MIKE DEE

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

COLLEGE: Franklin and Marshall NFL: Second Season DOLPHINS: Second Season

Mike Dee was named as Chief Executive Officer of the Miami Dolphins and Sun Life Stadium by Stephen M. Ross on May 3, 2009. Dee came to South Florida and the NFL after a distinguished 15-year career in Major League Baseball, where he played a lead role in the resurgence of two franchises and was a member of two World Series Championship teams. Since joining the Dolphins, Dee has laid out the three fundamental commitments that guides the franchise during the Ross ownership era: 1) To create a tier one organization that provides the resources to put a team on the field that is worthy of the fans support with the goal of competing for a playoff berth each season; 2) To consistently strive to enhance the fan experience at Sun Life Stadium and aggressively market the team to a broad region and diverse fan base; and 3) To be active participants in the community. Dee has spearheaded the teams efforts to live up to those commitments. He placed a particular emphasis on improving the clubs community relations efforts. He significantly upgraded the Dolphins charitable golf and fishing events as well as the teams educational, literacy and physical fitness programs in the South Florida community. He greatly expanded the clubs fan base by introducing a series of programs in the western and central regions of the state, and worked tirelessly to improve the game-day experience for the teams fans by introducing a series of entertainment and culinary innovations that has made the atmosphere at Dolphin games unique in the NFL. On the business side, Dee finalized a ground-breaking naming rights deal for the stadium with Sun Life Financial, revamped and improved the clubs broadcast and internet platforms and developed a series of innovative programs designed to enhance the teams relationship with its business partners. After beginning his sports career in San Diego with the Padres (1995-2002), Dee followed his mentor, CEO Larry Lucchino, to Boston and assumed the role of Executive Vice President of Business Affairs for the Red Sox. He was promoted to Chief Operating Officer in 2004, a position he held until his departure to join the Dolphins. During his tenure in Boston, the Red Sox won two World Series titles and set franchise records for attendance and revenue each year including a MLB record for consecutive sellouts dating back to 2003. Other noteworthy achievements while in Boston include bringing annual concerts to Fenway Park and directing the expansion of the teams business and real estate interests that stemmed from the eight-year renovation of Fenway Park and the surrounding neighborhood. Dee also has a history of working in the Sunshine State as earlier in 2009 he consummated a 30-year agreement with Lee County Florida to build the Red Sox a new, publicly-financed Spring Training facility that is set to open in 2012. Dee also served as President of Fenway Sports Group, a company that he created in 2004 under the direction of Red Sox owners John Henry and Tom Werner. An enterprise charged with diversifying the business interests of the Red Sox beyond baseball, FSG developed a wide array of endeavors across the sports and media landscape. In February, 2007, FSG acquired a 50% interest in Roush Racing and formed what is known today as Roush Fenway Racing, NASCARs largest race team. Dee served on the board of Roush Fenway as a Managing Director and during that time the team won two notable championships Carl Edwards 2007 Busch Series Championship and Matt Kenseths Daytona 500 victory in February, 2009. Dee is active in many different charitable and philanthropic activities including serving on the board of the Pan Mass Challenge, a cycling event and the nations largest athletic fundraiser which has raised more than $260 million for cancer research. Dee is an avid cyclist and rides in the event each August. Dee attended Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Penn., where he played basketball and earned a degree in government. He currently serves on the Advisory Board at F&M. Dee and his wife, Karen, have two sons, Spencer (10) and Tommy (8).

BILL PARCELLSCOLLEGE: Wichita State NFL: 26th Season DOLPHINS: Third Season

EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS

Bill Parcells, one of the most highly regarded and respected figures in the National Football League for more than two decades, signed a four-year contract to become Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the Miami Dolphins on December 20, 2007. Parcells had an immediate impact on the organization. Under his guidance, the 2008 Dolphins had a single season turnaround matched just once in NFL history. The Dolphins went 1-15 in 2007 and then stunned the league with an 11-5 record in 2008, Parcells first season in charge, capturing the AFC East title and earning a playoff berth. That ten-game improvement had been accomplished only one other time in NFL history, when the Indianapolis Colts went from 3-13 to 13-3 in 1999. In addition, since 1978 eight teams have finished with a 1-15 record, and the 2008 Dolphins had the best record of any of those teams the season following their 1-15 finish; they also were the only one of those teams to qualify for the playoffs. But it wasnt the first time Parcells engineered a turnaround of a one-win team. The Dolphins in 2008 were one of only three of those one-win teams to post a winning record the next season; the last team to do so had been the 1997 New York Jets, who Parcells led to a 9-7 record in his first year as the teams head coach after they finished with a 1-15 mark in 1996, a year prior to his arrival there. Parcells success in 2008 extended beyond the playing field to the front office. He brought on board Head Coach Tony Sparano, who in his first year at the helm of an NFL team led that historic turnaround and earned numerous Coach of the Year accolades for his accomplishments. Parcells also named Jeff Ireland as the teams General Manager. Viewed as one of the best young executives in the league, Ireland spearheaded the turnover of the teams roster that year that resulted in the Dolphins ten-game improvement. Along the way, three of his draft choices earned starting positions on Opening Day, with one of them, Jake Long, the first pick in the draft, going on to make the Pro Bowl as a rookie. In 2009, the Dolphins were again in playoff contention right until the end of the year despite season-ending injuries to a number of key performers, including starting quarterback Chad Pennington. While staying in the playoff hunt all season, the team was able to inject a number of young players into the starting lineup that Parcells originally helped bring to Miami, such as quarterback Chad Henne, wideout Davone Bess and defensive backs Vontae Davis and Sean Smith. In addition, Parcells was instrumental in the acquisition of two of the most highly sought-after players in the 2010 off-season, wide receiver Brandon Marshall and linebacker Karlos Dansby. Coupled with a productive draft that brought a host of new faces to the defense, those acquisitions further strengthened Parcells turnaround of the team. Of Parcells 24 previous seasons in the NFL before joining the Dolphins, 19 were spent as a head coach, beginning in 1983 with the New York Giants. His head coaching tenure consisted of subsequent stops with the New England Patriots, New York Jets, and most recently the Dallas Cowboys, with whom he served from 2003-06. Over those 19 seasons, his teams put together a regular season record of 172-130-1, and a playoff mark of 11-8. His 183 combined victories rank ninth in NFL annals. In all four of his head coaching tenures, Parcells molded teams that either went to the Super Bowl or contended for a title berth. In fact, coupled with the Dolphins playoff berth in 2008, Parcells became the first person in NFL history to lead five different franchises to playoff appearances. In eight seasons as head coach of the Giants (1983-90), Parcells guided the franchise to two Super Bowl wins, following the 1986 and 1990 seasons. He concluded his stint with the Giants after that second Super Bowl victory, and in those eight seasons, the club compiled a

20 Parcells

regular season mark of 77-49-1, including six winning seasons among the eight. What makes Parcells run with the Giants even more impressive is the fact that prior to taking over the reigns as head coach in 1983, the team had experienced just one winning campaign in the previous 10 years. He was named NFL Coach of the Year by at least one major media outlet in 1986 and 1989. Following a two-year hiatus (1991-92) in which he worked as an analyst for NBC-TVs coverage of the NFL, Parcells returned to the sidelines in 1993 with the New England Patriots. Although the Patriots posted a composite record of 14-50 in the four years prior to his arrival, Parcells led the club to a 10-6 record in just his second season in Foxborough (1994), while his fourth and final year there resulted in an 11-5 record, the AFC East title and a berth in Super Bowl XXI against Green Bay. Following that 1994 season, he was a consensus choice for NFL Coach of the Year. He also is one of only five head coaches in NFL history to have led two separate teams to the Super Bowl, joining Don Shula, Dan Reeves, Dick Vermeil and Mike Holmgren. In 1997, Parcells moved on to the New York Jets, where he guided the team to a 9-7 record in his first season as head coach. They barely missed out on an AFC playoff berth, following a stretch of eight straight years (1989-96) in which the club did not compile a winning mark, including a record of 1-15 in the year prior to his appointment. Not only did the team experience a three-game improvement the following year (1998) producing a record of 124 but they captured the franchises first-ever AFC East title. The Jets proceeded to the AFC Championship game for the first time since the 1982 season, where they were defeated by the eventual Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium. Following his threeyear stint as the Jets head coach, Parcells moved on to the administrative side in 2000, when he served as the clubs Director of Football Operations, his only year in that post. After another two-year layoff from football, Parcells became head coach with the Dallas Cowboys in 2003, and spent the next four years in that position. In his first year there, he led the team to a record of 10-6 and a Wild Card playoff berth, the clubs first playoff spot since 1999 and its first winning record since 1998. The Cowboys also qualified for the postseason in Parcells final year at the helm. Of the 53 players on the 2007 Cowboys team that finished 13-3 and won the NFC East, 36 were acquired during Parcells four-year tenure. In addition, 16 of the teams 22 starters at the end of the season joined the club while Parcells was there. Parcells began his collegiate playing career at Colgate before transferring to Wichita State. He then spent 14 years as a collegiate assistant (1964-77), a stretch which consisted of six different schools, including Florida State from 1970-72, where he served as the Seminoles linebackers coach. His first head coaching post came at the Air Force Academy, where he served the 1978 season. He began his NFL tenure with the New England Patriots in 1980 before heading to the New York Giants in 1981 where he served as defensive coordinator for the next two campaigns. Parcells is a native of Oradell, N.J., where he was a member of the first graduating class at River Dell High School in 1959. As a prep performer, he starred on the schools football, basketball and baseball teams. He has three daughters, Suzy, Jill, and Dallas and three grandchildren.

The Dolphins have put together five consecutive seasons with an average per rush attempt of 4.0 yards or better (4.3 in 2005, 4.2 in 2006, 4.0 in 2007, 4.2 in 2008 and 4.4 in 2009). In fact, this streak is the first time the Dolphins have amassed this average in five or more straight seasons in team history. In addition, the Dolphins are one of only three NFL teams to have registered a 4.0-yard average per rush attempt or better each of the last five seasons, along with Denver (4.7 in 2005, 4.4 in 2006, 4.6 in 2007, 4.8 in 2008, and 4.2 in 2009), the New York Giants (4.7 in 2005, 4.7 in 2006, 4.6 in 2007, 5.0 in 2008 and 4.1 in 2009).

JEFF IRELANDGENERAL MANAGER COLLEGE: Baylor NFL: 14th Season DOLPHINS: Third Season

Jeff Ireland was named as the Dolphins General Manager on January 2, 2008. He joined the club after a seven-year stint (2001-07) with the Dallas Cowboys, including his last three seasons there as the teams Vice President of College and Pro Scouting. In his role with the Dolphins, Ireland is not only responsible for overseeing and coordinating the college and pro personnel departments, but also helps manage the teams salary cap and player contracts. He supervises all scouting efforts that relate to the college draft, free agency, the Canadian Football League, and personnel of the other 31 NFL teams. Ireland works hand in hand with Executive Vice President of Football Operations Bill Parcells and Head Coach Tony Sparano in implementing a personnel plan to build the Dolphins into a championship caliber team. In Irelands two seasons in Miami, he already has seen some of the acquisitions play a key role in the development of the team. In 2009, quarterback Chad Henne, seeing his first significant playing time, won seven of his 13 starts. Fellow sophomores Jake Long and Dan Carpenter won Pro Bowl honors, while another second year player, Davone Bess, led the team in receptions. Rookies also made an immediate impact last year, as cornerbacks Vontae Davis and Sean Smith excelled in their NFL debuts and wide receiver Brian Hartline also made important contributions offensively. Ireland continued to strengthen the team during the 2010 off-season, landing perhaps the two most coveted players available, wide receiver Brandon Marshall and linebacker Karlos Dansby, while significantly upgrading the teams defense through the college draft. Inheriting a 1-15 team in 2008, Irelands first season in Miami, he worked with Parcells and Sparano to overhaul the teams roster. Their efforts resulted in an 11-5 mark, the AFC East title and a playoff berth, a turnaround unprecedented in NFL annals. Ireland replaced almost half of the roster, bringing on board 27 new faces, including nine new starters. One of those newcomers, quarterback Chad Pennington, went on to win the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award and finished tied for second in voting for the leagues Most Valuable Player award. Also among the new faces Ireland brought on board in 2008 were 11 rookies who made the team, including eight draft choices, three of whom were in the opening day starting lineup. Long, the teams first pick of the draft, went on to earn Pro Bowl honors at the conclusion of the season. Ireland added rookie talent beyond the draft, as Bess had the second-highest single-season reception total in the last 40 years among undrafted college free agents in their rookie season, while rookie free agent kicker Dan Carpenter led the Dolphins in scoring. In 2007, Irelands last season in Dallas, the Cowboys went 13-3 and won the NFC East title. Of the 53 players on the active roster, 38 had been acquired over the three years (2005-07) Ireland served as the teams Vice President of Scouting. Seven of those players made the Pro Bowl during that time, including DeMarcus Ware (Irelands first pick as the teams lead scout), fellow 2005 fourth round selections Chris Canty and Marion Barber, 2007 draft choice Nick Folk and two free agent acquisitions that season, Leonard Davis and Ken Hamlin. In addition, since Ireland arrived in Dallas, seven other Cowboys made their Pro Bowl debuts. Ireland began his tenure with the Cowboys as the teams national scout in 2001, evaluating all of the top collegiate prospects in the country. In his four years in that role, his skill as a talent evaluator helped lead to the drafting of four Pro Bowl performers, Roy Williams (who was selected five straight years), Terence Newman, Andre Gurode and Jason Witten. Prior to joining the Cowboys, Ireland spent four years in Kansas City as an area scout helping the Chiefs draft players like Dante Hall in the fifth round and Greg Wesley in the third round. Ireland started his NFL career evaluating talent as an area scout for the National Football Scouting Combine from 1994-1996.

Before becoming a full-time talent evaluator, Ireland helped coach special teams at the University of North Texas from 1992-1993. He was a four-year starter as a placekicker at Baylor University from 1988-1991, finishing his collegiate career third on Baylors all time scoring list with 213 points. His 45 career field goals, which included a 58-yard effort against Rice in 1991, established a school record for field goals made. Following his senior season he was selected as the South teams kicker in the 1992 Senior Bowl. Ireland, an Abilene, Texas native, is the stepson of Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame linebacker/center E.J. Holub and the grandson of former Philadelphia Eagles player and longtime Chicago Bears personnel executive Jim Parmer. Jeff and his wife, Rachel, have three daughters, Annie and twins Ha
