The Channing Tindall selection at No. 102 by the Miami Dolphins on Friday in 2022’s NFL draft has a number of fun connections to the franchise and college. The Georgia Bulldog was a third-round selection and the first-ever linebacker from the school drafted by the Dolphins.
He becomes the earliest player Miami has selected from Georgia since 1969 when they picked defensive end Bill Stanfill at No. 11 overall. Stanfill retired following the 1976 season as the Dolphins’ all-time leader in sacks with 69.5, a mark that’s third in team history today.
Tindall is the 10th Bulldog drafted by the Dolphins and the first since guard Solomon Kindley was picked 111th overall in 2020. Some other notable Bulldog-to-Dolphins include Jake Scott, Randy McMichael and Reshad Jones.
