2015 NFL Draft: Tony Lippett drafted by Dolphins as defensive back

It has been a solid day three of the NFL Draft for the Michigan State Spartans as the team has had two guys picked, first Jeremy Langford in the fourth round and now Tony Lippett in the fifth round to the Miami Dolphins.

Lippett was a slow-rising star for Michigan State as he started his career as a scout team star and then moved his way up to a cornerback, then a receiver and then a two-way player.

The senior wide out finished out his MSU career very strong, catching 65 passes for 1,198 yards and 11 touchdowns.
