Grier, Flores discuss every aspect of draft
Dolphin Digest|June 2021
Here were the highlights of General Manager Chris Grier and Head Coach Brian Flores’ video conference calls after each day of the 2021 NFL draft.
Grier, Flores discuss every aspect of draft

Q. Just with WR Jaylen Waddle, I just want to know what particular skill set he had that separated him from other receivers in this draft?

Chris Grier: I think with Jaylen, we’ve watched him over the years. He’s been a dynamic, explosive player even from his freshman year there. He just flashed and you saw stuff, and I think this season demonstrated that type of player and even last season. He’s contributed there every year. We love his athletic ability, his run-after-catch, obviously the speed, but it’s also his toughness. He’s a very competitive kid. He loves (football). It’s important to him. I think you guys see how he plays. He plays with passion and energy, and so as Brian (Flores) and I and the coaches and scouts were going through it, this guy has been someone that’s caught our eye and it’s not just this year. This is someone that we’ve had our eye on for the last couple years just watching him.

Q. DE Jaelan Phillips admitted that maybe somewhere along the line his passion for football wasn’t as strong throughout his journey. What convinced you guys that he was in fact a fit for this culture and can bring the passion and energy that you guys would want here with the Dolphins?
