A.J. Edds drafted in fourth round by the Miami Dolphins

Posted on 24 April 2010

A.J. Edds played his final game as an Iowa Hawkeye in Miami, Fla. Now the former Iowa linebacker gets to play his NFL home games there.

Edds was the fifth Hawkeye to be drafted this week, as the Miami Dolphins selected him with the 119th overall pick on Saturday. The pick had belonged to the Dallas Cowboys, but the Dolphins traded up seven spots for the pick to select the Greenwood, Ind., native.

This marks the second time in six years Miami has drafted an Iowa player. The Dolphins chose former defensive end Matt Roth in the 2005 NFL Draft.
