5 players the Miami Dolphins drafted and gave up on too soon
By Brian Miller
The Miami Dolphins drafted an offensive lineman in 1973 that maybe they should have held on to.
Leon Gray - OL - 1973 round 2
Gray was taken in the 2nd round of the draft but he would not play a single snap for the Dolphins. Instead, he played for the New England Patriots. Gray played six seasons for the Patriots. He was a Pro Bowl lineman twice and was also named an All-Pro.
After leaving the Patriots, Gray played three seasons with the Oilers and was a consensus All-Pro and Pro Bowl player in each of his three seasons with the Oilers.
Gray would play 11 years in the NFL without taking a single snap with the Dolphins.
