The Miami Dolphins had the opportunity to select QB Matt Ryan at the top of the 2008 NFL draft but went in a different direction
Quarterback Matt Ryan announced his retirement Tuesday, two days before the start of the 2024 NFL draft, and no doubt older Miami Dolphins fans will remember his own draft year.
The Dolphins did select a quarterback in that 2008 draft, but they did it in the second round with their third selection that year — they took defensive end Phillip Merling at the top of Round 2 — when they took Chad Henne from Michigan, the same school that produced Jake Long. But that would be the only season they would make the playoffs with Long, who made the Pro Bowl his first four seasons but then fell victim to knee issues that sidetracked his career.
