The Miami Dolphins<\/a> took 13 players<\/a> throughout the seven rounds and three days of the 2026 NFL draft, and they’ve reportedly signed a slew of undrafted free agents<\/a> after its conclusion.<\/p>\n

Miami’s top pick in the draft came at No. 12, when they took Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor.<\/p>\n

Proctor joins the Dolphins<\/a> after three seasons with the Crimson Tide, where he started 39 games at left tackle and earned All-SEC honors twice and All-American honors once.<\/p>\n

In a recent video shared by the team, Proctor has already picked his jersey number for the year, as he’ll wear No. 74, which he also wore at Alabama.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins have had 16 players wear No. 74 in their history. John Richardson was the first to don the jersey in 1967, wearing it for five seasons. Mark Dennis wore it the longest, wearing it for seven years from 1987-93. Liam Eichenberg<\/a> wore it most recently, rocking it from 2021-25.<\/p>\n

Miami’s hoping he’s the best of that group.<\/p>\n
