Dolphins | Cameron Wake doesn’t mind bench role

I must be the starter.’ That’s not my mentality,’ Wake commented. ‘I want to do whatever is going to help the entirety of the team, the entirety of the defense. So, if it means me being a third-down guy, let’s do it. If it means I have to start and play every down, I’ll take that role on, too.’
