Kenny Stills: 'I was not signed to replace Mike Wallace'

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills has insisted that he has not been brought into the club to replace Mike Wallace.

The 22-year-old joined the Dolphins in a trade deal from the New Orleans Saints as the AFC East outfit sent away a third-round pick in the 2015 Draft and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe to acquire his services.

As a result of adding Stills to their receiving corps, the Dolphins traded Wallace to the Minnesota Vikings, but Stills is adamant that he is not a direct replacement for the veteran.

"I don't think I was brought in to replace anybody," Stills told reporters. "I'm just here to do whatever I can to help the team win. Mike is a great player, and I've looked up to everything he's done."

Stills has recorded 95 receptions for 1,572 yards and eight touchdowns in his two years in the NFL.
