Miami Dolphins select Wisconsin LB Andrew Van Ginkel in fifth round of 2019 NFL Draft

In the fifth round with the 151st overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins selected Wisconsin Badgers linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel on Saturday.

Van Ginkel became a fixture and playmaker on defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard’s unit the past two seasons after stints at FCS program South Dakota and Iowa Western Community College. Initially a rotational player at the outside linebacker position in 2017, he assumed a starting role last season and played in 13 games (10 starts) despite dealing with a right ankle injury through a significant portion of his redshirt senior campaign.
