A look back at the Miami Dolphins late draft successes. Part one, the ’60’s

To illustrate that I thought I’d take you for a walk through Dolphins history and show the many franchise changing players who were selected later in the draft. This surely won’t include every player who made an impact, more so the ones I feel made the biggest difference in relation to their draft position.

We’ll start at the beginning in this multi-part series going through each decade in team history.

Today, we’ll begin in the 1960’s.

In ’66 the Dolphins in the 12th round selected WR Howard Twilley from Tulsa. Twilley went on to play 120 games in his career and totaled 3064 yards while scoring 23 TD’s.
