Dolphins wide receiver Brian Hartline will be reunited with one of his best friends from Ohio State as the Dolphins took Buckeyes ILB Austin Spittler with their final pick of the 2010 NFL Draft. He was the 252nd overall pick and backed up James Laurinaitis.
Spittler actually visited Miami and met the coaching staff, getting a good feel for the organization. He is looking forward to joining the Dolphins and making a contribution right away.
The 6-3, 234-pounder embraced the competition in the Big Ten and between himsel and Laurenaitis and makes it seven defensive players taken with their eight picks, including three linebackers today.
"I'm going to be a tenacious player who makes few errors, a physical guy, smart player that's really just ready to get it done," Spittler said on his conference call with the South Florida media.
Now all that's left for us down here in Davie is to here from General Manager Jeff Ireland on today's picks and his summary of the entire draft.
Stay tuned,
AK
