A look at one defining stat for every Miami Dolphins draft pick ahead of OTAs.

The Miami Dolphins have wrapped up their rookie mini camp, which will now lead into OTAs (offseason team activities). These offseason workouts will begin to integrate players back into getting ready for the season, but it is also a time for rookie players to get more acclimated.

With OTAs set to start at the end of May, here is a look at a defining stat for each Dolphins player drafted.

Kadyn Proctor, OT - 16 rushing yards

Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor was taken as the No. 13 overall pick with the hope that he can be a plug-and-play starter on the Dolphins' line. However, his most captivating stat is that he carried the ball five times for 16 rushing yards in 2025.

Proctor spoke about that fact, saying what he was doing was what was needed, and this kind of team-first mentality and athletic ability could go a long way for the team.

Chris Johnson, CB - No TDs allowed in 2025

The Dolphins took San Diego State cornerback Chris Johnson No. 27 overall, and he offers a major boost in the secondary. He could be a Day 1 one starter, and did not allow a single touchdown in coverage in 2025, and has only allowed two touchdowns throughout his collegiate career.

Jacob Rodriguez, LB - Seven forced fumbles

At No. 43 overall, Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez was taken, much to the surprise of many. Considering the immense number of postseason awards he notched, he carries a playstyle that should be a huge benefit to the Dolphins.

Rodriguez can be a game-swinging playmaker, as he led the Big 12 and FBS with seven forced fumbles in 2025.

Will Kacmarek, TE - 11.2 yards per reception

With a need for blocking tight ends, the Dolphins brought in Will Kacmarek, who is considered the best coming out of college. However, his 11.2 yards per reception is interesting as he caught 15 passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns.

Though Kacmarek will be used in blocking schemes, he could be a sneaky good pass catcher for the Dolphins. 

Chris Bell, WR - 50 percent contested catch rate

With the team prioritizing speed over size in the receiver department for multiple years, they went big with the Louisville pass catcher Chris Bell. He comes in at nearly 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, making him a big body that can go up for contested balls.

Per PFF, Bell has a 50 percent contested catch rate, which is good odds for Malik Willis to throw the ball up to the young receiver to make a play.

Trey Moore, Edge - 50 career tackles for loss

Edge player Trey Moore was taken in the fourth round at No. 130 out of Texas. The former UTSA linebacker has 50 total career tackles for loss. This could be huge for the Dolphins' run defense game.

Kyle Louis, LB - 10 sacks and six interceptions

Yes, putting two stats is cheating a bit, but it's hard to ignore that Pitt linebacker/safety hybrid Kyle Louis has 10 sacks and six interceptions in his career, making him a strong candidate for the sub-package defense for Miami.

Michael Taaffe, S - 54.6 passer rating in 2025

Texas safety Michael Taffe was taken in the fifth round and could find his way into a strong rotational position with the defense. When targeted in 2025, he only gave up a 54.6 passer rating to opposing quarterbacks.

Kevin Coleman Jr., WR - 8.2 yards per return

While Missouri wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. may not be expected to take on a substantial role in the passing game, he could turn into a return ace for the Dolphins. He secured an 8.2 yards per return average through his four years with the team.

Seydou Traore, TE- Over 10 yards per reception in 2024/2025

Seydou Traore comes over as part of the International Pathway Program, but the Mississippi State tight end could be a strong pass catching option for the Dolphins, as he secured over 10 yards per reception on average over the past two seasons.

D.J. Campbell, G - One sack allowed

D.J. Campbell may have to work his way up the depth chart, but the offensive guard only allowed one sack in 2025, which could be a huge reason he was drafted by the team.

Max Llewellyn, Edge - 20.5 career sacks

Iowa edge Max Llewellyn may have been the final Dolphins pick, but beign able to secure 20.5 sacks over four seasons is a big deal. Once he refines his pass rush abilities, he could find himself a nice role on this team.
