Who is Miami Dolphins sixth-round pick Cornell Armstrong? | Miami Herald

How much playing time Cornell Armstrong has with the Miami Dolphins in his first season is yet to be determined.

But his selection does mark a first for this Dolphins' regime.

When the Dolphins selected Armstrong with the 209th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, he became the first non-Power 5 player to be selected in this regime before the seventh round. The lone exception: quarterback Brandon Doughty, who was taken in the seventh round in 2016.

Armstrong, 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds, played for four years at Southern Miss and recorded five interceptions and defended 29 passes in 44 career games.
