One of the most fun dynamics of the 2021 NFL Draft is seeing the past and current members of the NFL family welcome the new blood into the mix — the embrace of a new generation of NFL talent is a very fun dynamic to see play out as the draft trudges on over the course of three full days. And that tradition will continue this week as the 2021 draft gets under way. The NFL announced this weekend which past and present NFL standouts would be helping to welcome the newest members of the league by announcing Day 2 selections for their current (or former) teams.
For the Miami Dolphins? Veteran cornerback Byron Jones has been pegged as the team’s representative, according to the official release by the league.
Jones didn’t have to wait until Day 2 of his own respective NFL Draft to hear his name called, as he was the No. 27 overall pick in the 2015 draft. But as one of Miami’s most highly-paid talents and veterans, he’s a fitting choice on Miami’s current roster to introduce and welcome new members of the team into the fray.
Friday’s Day 2 of the NFL Draft will features Rounds 2 & 3 of this year’s draft and as things are currently scheduled, Miami is set to make selections at No. 36, No. 50 and No. 81 overall.
