The feeling was electric at Hard Rock Stadium on Thursday night, the music was pumping, fans were cheering, and everywhere you turned there was something to do as the packed-in crowd awaited the announcement of the Miami Dolphins' 2018 first-round draft pick at the annual draft party presented by Publix.
"It's exciting," said former Dolphins running back Tony Nathan, who was one of several alumni in attendance. "Just to be back in the house again."
Activities were abundant in the stadium, including tours of Hard Rock Stadium's new luxury spaces, appearances by the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders, a live show of "The Audible" featuring insider analysis and exclusive interviews with current and alumni players, official draft merchandise for sale, and a garage sale of signature Dolphins items with proceeds going to benefit the Miami Dolphins Foundation.
