Miami Dolphins' Brian Hartline may face charge of leaving accident scene.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating if Brian Hartline was driving a truck registered to him that hit a car on the shoulder of Interstate 595.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brian Hartline could face charges of leaving the scene of an accident with property damage after a truck registered to him was involved in a predawn July 3 wreck.

According to the official crash report, Florida Highway Patrol investigators still don't know who was driving the Ford registered to Hartline that hit a broken down Cadillac Escalade parked on the right shoulder of Interstate 595 around 4:37 a.m.

They don't know if there were any injuries, although a man identifying himself as Hartline's attorney told FHP by phone that Hartline was uninjured.

What they do know, according to the accident report, is that the Ford is registered to Hartline; nobody reported the accident; nobody was present when troopers arrived; and Hartline still hasn't made contact with FHP to talk about the accident.

When an FHP trooper called Hartline's home, the report said, a guest told them Hartline wasn't home and she didn't know when he would be back. The guest gave the number of Hartline's wife, Lindsay, who was in California. Troopers called and left a message on her cellphone. The person claiming to be Hartline's attorney called in response to that message.

Whoever was driving the car could be cited for failure to report an accident and leaving the scene of an accident involving property damage. On the crash report, the estimated damages were $10,000 to Hartline's vehicle and $22,000 to the Escalade.

An entry on Hartline's Twitter account said Monday night that the Ohio native is back in his home state. Another entry said he was in California's Napa Valley on June 29. There's no direct reference to him returning to South Florida from California.

But Hartline wrote July 5 on Twitter that he was ``waiting for my dude to get into town'' then on July 6 that he and a friend were ``starting our 1,400-mile trip to Ohio.'' Hartline's hometown of Canton is 1,177 miles from his Fort Lauderdale home. Northern California is 2,500 miles from Canton.

Calls to Hartline's agent, Neil Cornish, were not returned. As of Tuesday afternoon, the Dolphins had no comment.

Wide receiver: It's a toss-up for the spot opposite Brandon Marshall. The Dolphins see Brian Hartline as a faster version of Greg Camarillo, but this job should be contested deep into preseason.

``Hartline gives you a little more than Camarillo -- more of a downfield guy,'' Bokamper said. Hartline was 19th in yards-after-catch per reception, Camarillo 94th.

But Dolphins people warn not to underestimate Camarillo, the only NFL player who had at least 50 catches and no drops in 2009. Davone Bess is best in the slot role, but Tony Sparano is giving him a chance to compete to start.

``You've got to give the edge to Camarillo,'' WQAM's Danny Kanell said. ``More than a year off the knee injury, he will be 100 percent, and he knows the system better than Hartline. But they're almost interchangeable.''

WR Brian Hartline – Considering Hartline led the Dolphins’ receivers in yards per reception (16.3) and touchdowns (4) last season, it’s really not fair to put him on this list. But it’s possible his impressive rookie season was just the tip of the iceberg, and he could garner national recognition this season. Dan Henning loves a smart receiver, so don’t ignore the fact Miami’s offensive coordinator declared Hartline the smartest guy in the receiver room last year. The Dolphins need to find the ideal complement to Brandon Marshall, and I suspect that player will need to stretch the field for the offense. Considering Hartline has the best speed of what remains I suspect he could unseat Camarillo and hold off Bess for the co-starring role.

IN MY OPINION
Pivotal training camp awaits Miami Dolphins' Hartline, Garner

The youngster in the crowd stands and rears his shoulders, showing off his 3-foot frame, then he boldly asks Brian Hartline and Nate Garner if it's hard to be a professional football player.

Hartline and Garner smile.

``It's very hard,'' Hartline responds.

Both men are spending their Wednesday afternoon on a team-sponsored community relations tour of South Florida, with this stop at Boynton Beach City Library to promote reading. Think of the daylong meet-and-greet as the calm before the storm.

On Friday, the Dolphins open their 2010 training camp, and for Garner and Hartline, the six-week period will be important only because the direction of their careers will be decided during it.

``I'm pumped,'' Hartline said. ``I'm ready to get this thing rocking. I'm feeling pretty good and ready to get this rolling. I'm ready to make my imprint with the Dolphins. That's my mind-set.''

OPPOSITE MARSHALL

The competition facing Hartline seems equally challenging. Although Brandon Marshall has one starting receiver spot locked up, Hartline, Davone Bess, Greg Camarillo and perhaps others will get a chance at the other spot.

Hartline just seems like the best combination of size and speed to win that job. Now all he has to do is prove it.

``I like my chances,'' he said. ``The opportunity is definitely there, and that's all you can ask for in the first place. If you have the opportunity and you take care of your job and be consistent every day, that's what it's all about.

``A lot of guys can do it, but I think it's about doing it every day. That's the mind-set I'm trying to have.''

Hartline said he spent this offseason trying to add some bulk to his body. He was listed at 195 pounds last year but that seemed more like an early season number that turned into a late-season wish.

``I wanted to add a dimension to my game where I'm not just a little quick guy,'' Hartline said. ``There's a physical side of the game to the NFL, and that was kind of my focus and where I wanted to go with things this offseason. I think I've done a pretty decent job with that.

``I'm coming around 195 to 196 pounds. I was pushing that early last season, but it didn't feel as good. I'm carrying the weight well now. My strength is there. I definitely made a step, but there is no reason I can't make more of a step during preseason activities.''

It is no secret Hartline faces a legal question regarding a July 3 auto accident in which a truck registered to him hit a parked car along Interstate 595. The truck was found abandoned.

Hartline has been advised by his attorney not to discuss the matter.

But that legal speed bump doesn't seem likely to derail the player's attempt to win a starting job.

Brian Hartline hires Drew Rosenhaus
by: Mike Berardino
July 26th, 2010

The Drew-ification of the Miami Dolphins continues.

Second-year wide receiver Brian Hartline is the latest Dolphins player to switch agents and choose the Miami-based Drew Rosenhaus. This news was broken on Rosenhaus? weekly Sunday night TV segment on WSVN Sports Xtra.

?I am biased, but Brian Hartline, I believe, and I said this many months ago, is going to start opposite Brandon Marshall,? Rosenhaus said. ?I really like Brian?s abilty. He?s got speed, he?s got toughness, he can run routes, he?s a gifted wide receiver and I think Brian Hartline and Brandon Marshall can be the best tandem the Dolphins have had in a decade at wide receiver. I think they can both have 1,000 yards.?

Dolphins outside linebacker Erik Walden also recently joined the Rosenhaus stable, dumping David Rich, according to the NFL Players Association?s online database. The additions of Walden and Hartline give the Rosenhaus brothers nine clients in aqua and orange, joining Ricky Williams, Yeremiah Bell, Will Allen, Chris Clemons, Donald Thomas, Tony McDaniel and first-rounder Jared Odrick.

Six of those players could end up starting in Week 1 at Buffalo, with Ricky, Walden and McDaniel likely to play significant roles in reserve.

Hartline, who dropped previous agent Neil Cornrich ? who has a strong presence at Ohio State, Hartline?s alma mater, and has Ted Ginn Jr. as a client ? threw out 1,000 yards as a goal earlier in his appearance with host Steve Shapiro.

?Goals for myself, I?m not sure, I don?t care,? Hartline said. ?I want over 1,000 yards.?

Even with Marshall on the scene?

?That?s all right,? Hartline said. ?I?m sure the guys beside him up in Denver got some up there too. I want to throw the ball this year. I hope the coaches do too. That?s kind of my mindset.?

Hartline was asked if it?s now safe to call the Dolphins an ?offensive team.?

?I couldn?t say that,? he said. ?There should definitely be more of an emphasis on the passing game. That?s what attracted me the most about [the Marshall deal]. I love the Wildcat. I love what that brings. That?s part of our DNA. We?re always going to have that. But as a receiver we want the ball in the air.?

FHP still waiting to hear from Miami Dolphins WR Brian Hartline
BY MIKE BERARDINO South Florida Sun-Sentinel
July 26, 2010

More than three weeks have passed since an early morning accident involving a pickup truck registered to Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brian Hartline, and the Florida Highway Patrol is still waiting for Hartline to break his silence on the matter.

"Nothing new at all," FHP Sgt. Mark Wysocky said Monday morning. "We're still waiting to hear from him. . . . We're basically in a holding pattern to see if he's going to contact us."

Hartline was said to be traveling for part of July, but since his return he has been quoted in the media on a couple of occasions, including an appearance on WSVN-TV on Sunday night. The second-year receiver from Ohio State wasn't asked about the July 3 accident on Interstate 595 and reportedly told a media member last week that his attorney had advised him not to speak publicly about the matter.

Brian Hartline issued fine, traffic citation for abandoned truck
by Ben Volin

The Dolphins have had their share of legal troubles this offseason ? two DUIs and two domestic batteries since February ? but receiver Brian Hartline is out of hot water both legally and with the Dolphins.

Florida Highway Patrol investigated Hartline after his pickup truck was found crashed and abandoned on I-595 by Florida Highway Patrol at 4:30 a.m. on July 3, and wasn?t able to contact him for more than two weeks.

But Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said before Friday?s season-opening practice that Hartline was issued a traffic citation and paid a fine, and the ?case is closed.? FHP confirmed that Harline met with police but declined to give any details about who was driving the car, and the fine was for $115 for a non-moving violation.

?It?s disappointing only in the sense that from a communication standpoint, I wish that maybe we would?ve done a little bit better job that way,? Sparano said. ?But other than that, that thing really is to bed.?

Hartline should surprise those stuck on stereotypes
by: Ethan J. Skolnick August 5th, 2010

Let?s just get this out there:

Brian Hartline is white.

Of course, you?re aware of that, but it?s the unspoken reason why Hartline is viewed as a possession receiver, when he actually ran a solid 40 time coming out of college, and had a higher yards-per-catch average as a rookie than some of the league?s supposed deep threats.

White receivers are typecast, even though the stereotype doesn?t always fit.
Remember the Bills of the 1990s? Don Beebe was the fastest receiver on those teams, faster than Andre Reed, faster even than James Lofton was at that stage.

Hartline?s not Beebe. But he showed last season that runs well in his pads and has good burst out of his breaks. He?s not the type that will require extra game-planning, but he should be able to get behind the defense if it focuses too much on Brandon Marshall.

My expectations?

Fifty catches, 800 yards, six touchdowns, and at least as many plus-20 yard catches as Marshall

Brian Hartline winning 'game of inches' for Dolphins

DAVIE ? The two most shocking revelations Brian Hartline learned last year as an NFL rookie?

"Everyone's good," he said. "And it really is a game of inches."

He's re-learning both lessons this training camp with the Dolphins.

The Dolphins, a team with just one 1,000-yard receiver since Dan Marino retired after the 1999 season (Chris Chambers had 1,118 in 2005), suddenly have a glut of receivers.

Standing next to Hartline in position drills: One of two receivers in the NFL with 100 catches in three straight seasons (Brandon Marshall); one who did not drop a single ball the 73 times he was the intended receiver (Greg Camarillo); and someone whose 130 catches in his first two seasons are the most in Dolphins history to start a career (Davone Bess).

Yet when Tony Sparano chose a receiver to play opposite Marshall this training camp with the starting offense, he went with Hartline, the 2009 fourth-round pick out of Ohio State.

The reason? He gains more inches than Camarillo or Bess after the catch.

"At the end of last season, when you looked at what Brian did, Brian had good runs after the catch," Sparano said. "He had some big plays for us with his hands on the football ."
