· 940 views

Texas offensive lineman DJ Campbell was selected by the Miami Dolphins with the No. 200 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Campbell is the third Longhorn picked by the Dolphins in this year's draft, joining linebacker Trey Moore (fourth round, No. 130 overall) and safety Michael Taaffe (fifth round, No. 158 overall).

Campbell, a former five-star recruit from Arlington (Texas) Bowie, started 43 games over the course of his career at right guard, providing the veteran presence on the O-line after roster turnover ahead of the 2025 season. 

Campbell is the fifth offensive lineman drafted from the Longhorns in recent years, joining Kelvin Banks, Hayden Conner and Cam Williams in 2025, and Christian Jones in 2024.

    Purely a coincidence? Or is there something about QE3 that encourages them to look at Texas players?

    With an entire new coaching staff in Miami I’d say coincidence. You never know though.

    It’s literally the Green Bay Longhorns of Miami at this point. 
     

    the amount of former packers in that front office (who drafted golden and sorrell last year) paired with the head coach, Willis, and Anderson all heading to South beach and then drafting three more longhorns….
