Dolphins take Tindall with their 1st pick of 2022 draft
The Miami Dolphins selected Georgia linebacker Channing Tindall in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, No. 102 overall.
Tindall is the first member of the Dolphins' 2022 draft class. Miami previously traded first- and second-round picks to the Kansas City Chiefs for star wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
Tindall registered 67 tackles and 5.5 sacks for Georgia last season. He played behind Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker, both of whom were drafted before Tindall.

Tindall is just the latest in a long line of defensive prospects from Georgia. Despite being behind Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker in the Bulldogs' pecking order, Tindall made his mark. Possessing incredible athleticism, Tindall can flat-out fly, giving him a large tackle radius. While he's prone to making false steps, and his play instincts are inconsistent, it's a sight to see when Tindall manages to put it all together. He may never be the centerpiece of a linebacker group, but he has the potential to be a starting weak-side backer, which will allow his speed and range to shine.
