Miami Dolphins five best draft picks of the last decade
By Nick Belotto
Mike Pouncey, 2011 NFL Draft, Round 1, Pick 15. Career Stats (with Miami): 77 Starts, 3 Pro Bowls
Pouncey was another player of this decade that could have been even better than he was if the injury bug didn’t plague him, which can be said for many players on the list. When he was on the field, Pouncey was one of the more dominant athletic linemen I had seen in a long time. It’s hard to get excited about line play for many people and fans, but Pouncey was a quality player who was more than deserving of the recognition he got from the league.
Switching between playing guard and center, Pouncey rarely made mistakes and played his way into perennial pro bowl status. His dominant play continued in Los Angeles as well, where he earned another pro bowl nod after a solid year in 2018.
