Like former Miami Dolphins standout Andrew Van Ginkel , rookie Max Llewellyn is a high-motor sack artist from the state of Iowa with a wicked spin move. "I know Andrew Van Ginkel has got a nasty little spin move too," Llewellyn said on a video call with local Dolphins reporters. "I'm familiar with him, that guy is a baller.

” The Dolphins were surprised Llewellyn was available in the seventh round of the last NFL Draft and they believe he has the ability to exceed the draft slot. "Max has got a toughness to him that we liked," Miami coach Jeff Hafley said . "He's a rugged player.

He plays really hard. " The Dolphins were surprised in 2019 when Van Ginkel was available in the seventh round. Van Ginkel, with 35.

5 sacks in seven seasons, has exceeded expectations by a mile. You could say 2019 and 2026 are dramatic Dolphins rebuild seasons. Van Ginkel capitalized on opportunities to play as a youngster.
