On Day 3 of the 2026 NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins made two selections in the fourth round and two in the fifth before they were on the clock again at No. 180 overall.
With that pick, their final in the fifth round, Miami took Mississippi State tight end Seydou Traore.
Traore, 23, was born in France but raised in London, England. He moved to the United States and played at Clearwater Academy in Clearwater, Florida, where he was a three-star recruit.
After spending two seasons at Arkansas State, where he earned All-Sun Belt honors in 2022, Traore transferred to Mississippi State for three more years. In 48 games, he caught 131 passes for 1,482 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Traore was a member of the International Player Pathway Program and was in attendance at the draft.
