Kindley, a three-year starter at offensive guard for Georgia, was selected No. 111 overall in April’s NFL Draft by the Dolphins.

His fellow teammates Andrew Thomas and Isaiah Wilson were also drafted this year. Thomas went No. 4 to the Giants and Wilson No. 29 to the Titans.

Kindley brings toughness and power at the guard position. At 6-foot-4, 340 pounds, the Jacksonville, Florida native is a force inside and is a linebacker’s nightmare when he moves to the second level.
