LB, Miami Dolphins. . Raekwon McMillan. . team. 59.

Thee Miami Dolphins were very excited about their second-round pick Raekwon McMillan out of Ohio State after training camp and into the preseason, before he was unfortunately lost for the season due to injury.

McMillan has an excellent combination of size, strength, speed, and range at the linebacker position and was going to be counted on as a major piece of the Dolphins’ 2017 defensive unit.

Now, the team will gladly take him back as somewhat of a redshirt rookie with the potential to step in and lead the team in tackles.

McMillan excelled in coverage at Ohio State as well, breaking up nine passes over his final two seasons with the team.

He’s going to be a fun player to watch.
