On Friday night the Miami Dolphins made their first pick of the 2022 NFL draft by selecting Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Channing Tindall at pick No. 102.
Tindall was a four-year contributor on Kirby Smart’s defense, totaling 108 tackles, 12 sacks and one forced fumble in 38 games played. However, he wasn’t getting starter opportunities because Quay Walker and Nakobe Dean, who were both projected to be top linebackers in this draft, were ahead of him on the depth chart.
His ability to play both inside and outside linebacker probably intrigued the Dolphins enough into meeting with him pre-draft, and that meeting obviously went well.
