Randy McMichael
former Miami Dolphins Tight End

Randy McMichael was selected in the fourth round, 114th overall, in the 2002 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. He started all 16 games in his rookie season, catching 39 passes for 485 yards and four touchdowns. Although he was the eighth tight end taken in the 2002 NFL Draft, McMichael's receiving totals ranked second among all NFL rookie tight ends in 2002, trailing only the New York Giants' Jeremy Shockey - the 14th overall pick in the draft. McMichael's touchdown total was also the most of any rookie tight end in the league in 2002. For five straight years, McMichael started all 16 games of the season. Through 2006, McMichael played 80 career games without ever missing a start. At season's end, McMichael was already the team's all-time leading tight end in receptions and receiving yards, and ranked third in touchdowns. The Dolphins released McMichael instead of paying him a $3 million bonus due. McMichael then signed a deal with the St. Louis reuniting McMichael with Scott Linehan, the Dolphins' 2005 offensive coordinator and now head coach of the Rams.
