It’s always special when collegiate teammates take the field together in the NFL as well.
For the Miami Dolphins, this has been commonplace. Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed shared backfields in Miami and at the University of Washington. Jevon Holland and Verone McKinley were extremely close during their time at Oregon, and that’s continued in South Florida.
Texas linebacker DeMarvion Overshown spoke at the NFL combine this week, saying how great it would be to play with his collegiate teammate, Dolphins safety Brandon Jones.

Jones took to social media to echo a similar sentiment to Overshown’s.
