The Miami Dolphins drafted Raekwon Davis with the No. 56 overall pick in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft on Friday. Here’s what you need to know about him.

Position: Defensive tackle

School: Alabama

Height: 6-6

Weight: 311 lbs

Stats: 48 games, 175 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, 1 interception

Comment: Davis gives the Dolphins needed depth on the interior of their defensive line, where Christian Wilkins, Davon Godchaux and Zach Sieler are the only NFL-caliber defensive tackles on their roster. His selection also signals Miami’s trend of picking Southeastern Conference players after taking two (Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa and Auburn’s Noah Igbinoghene) in the first round.
