Dolphins add prolific TE Mike Gesicki in 2nd round

The Miami Dolphins have selected tight end Mike Gesicki out of Penn State in the second round with the 42nd overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.

The senior is an absolute freak on the athletic scale, leaping an incredible 41.5 inches at the NFL combine. With that jumping ability on a 6-foot-6 frame, Gesicki should be a potent weapon in the red zone for the Dolphins offense.
