Miami Dolphins Louis Delmas glad to be back in North Miami, among Haitians

Born to Haitian parents, American footballer Louis Delmas spent much of his early life living among the people who could teach him, through their practices and culture, a little of what his parents' country is like. Now, after many years living where his career allowed, Delmas is finally back in North Miami, and it seems he could not be more happy and comfortable with the move.

After having spent his first five seasons in the American National Football League (NFL), Delmas was eager to find somewhere where he was more comfortable. The state of Florida has America's largest population of Haitians, and so, while in free agency in early 2014, Delmas considered the State for his next move.

Such was the lure of the Miami Dolphins, and their new safety moved into North Miami, where the stadium he will play in is only 10-minutes away from one of the most Haitian-populous sections of Florida.

His team is equally excited about his big move, his gregarious nature just the type of positive press that the team needs after their scandal-filled year in 2013. Dolphins cornerback Cortland Finnegan expressed excitement to play with Delmas, stating that his energy will be contagious and help to boost the morale of the whole team. From a more tactical standpoint, his speed was the deciding factor, as referenced by the team's coach, Joe Philbin. Of Delmas he said he's a decisive, active and physical player.
