High school career

Page attended Summerville High School in Summerville, South Carolina during his senior season after transferring from Wando High School in Charleston and Tuckahoe Middle School in Richmond, Virginia. He did not play football until his sophomore season. As a senior, he helped lead Summerville to an 11–2 record and a berth in the state playoffs. He started the season at tight end and moved to offensive tackle early in the season. He also played defensive tackle. He was named all-region and selected All-Low Country by the Palmetto Touchdown Club.

College career

Page was a four-year letterman and three-year starter at defensive tackle for the North Carolina Tar Heels. He appeared in 40 games including 35 starts and accumulated 123 tackles and 6.5 sacks.

Page was one of seven true freshmen to see game action for the Tar Heels in 2001. He began the season at tight end and played in five games at offensive guard. His most extensive action of the season came against rival Duke.

In the spring prior to the 2002 season, Page was moved from offensive guard to defensive tackle. He started all 12 games and was sixth on the team with 49 tackles, including 24 solo stops and 25 assists. The first sack of his career came against the Duke Blue Devils.

Page started all 12 games in 2003, playing defensive tackle for the first nine games and switching to defensive end for the final three. He finished seventh on the team with 47 tackles, including 30 primary stops and 17 assists. He had five tackles for losses of 19 yards and 1.5 sacks for nine yards. Page earned the coaches' praise for his effort in games against Virginia and East Carolina.

Page received a medical redshirt in 2004 after tearing a tendon in his left hand in preseason practice. He had surgery to repair the tendon was able to recover for the following season.

As a senior in 2005, Page ranked second on the squad with a career-high four sacks.

Professional career

Page was drafted by the San Diego Chargers in the seventh-round (225 overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft. Sprained ligaments in his knee suffered in early August forced him to miss most of the preseason and he was released by the team on September 2. He was signed to the team's practice squad the following day.

On December 21, the Miami Dolphins signed Page to their active roster from the Chargers' practice squad. He filled a roster spot vacated by veteran defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson, who was placed on Injured Reserve. Page was inactive for the final two games of the season.

Following very limited playing time in the 2007 season, [1] the Dolphins did not offer Page a contract for the 2008 season. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2008 Miami Dolphins season</span> 43rd season in franchise history; greatest single-season turnaround in NFL history

The 2008 Miami Dolphins season was the franchise's 39th season in the National Football League, the 43rd overall and the first under new head coach Tony Sparano. During the regular season the Dolphins completed the greatest single-season turnaround in NFL history, going from a 1–15 regular season record in 2007 to an 11–5 record in 2008. The previous record for most improved team one year after a 1–15 season belonged to the 1997 New York Jets, who went 9–7. The 1999 Indianapolis Colts were the only other team to accomplish a 10-game turnaround, winning 13 games after winning 3 in 1998, which was also the first year of the Peyton Manning era. Additionally, Miami won the AFC East, becoming the first team in NFL history to win their division after only having one win the previous season. The division title also snapped the Patriots' 5-year streak of winning the AFC East. Their season would come to an end in the Wild Card round when they were defeated by the Baltimore Ravens, which coincidentally, was also the only team they beat last season in overtime to save the Dolphins from suffering a winless season. With their 11–5 record and division title, the Dolphins had hopes of achieving their first playoff victory since 2000, or to possibly become the first team ever to make the Super Bowl after winning only one game the previous season, similar to how the Carolina Panthers went 1–15 in 2001 and made Super Bowl XXXVIII just two seasons later.
