He didn’t hear his name called during the 2022 NFL Draft, but that doesn’t mean that Verone McKinley III won’t get a chance to prove himself at the next level.
Now that the draft is over, McKinley has been signed by the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent. He will now go through training camp with the Dolphins and work to earn a roster spot going into the fall.
In four seasons with Oregon, McKinley had 11 total interceptions and two forced fumbles. He led the nation with 6 interceptions in the 2021 season, and 172 total tackles in his career with the Ducks.
Now as a member of the Dolphins, McKinley will have a chance to join former Duck Jevon Holland in the Miami secondary.
