Who is Miami Dolphins fifth-round pick Curtis Weaver?
The Miami Dolphins drafted Curtis Weaver with the No. 164 overall pick in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft on Saturday. They acquired that pick by trading up with the Philadelphia Eagles. Here’s what you need to know about him.
Position: Edge rusher
College: Boise State
Height: 6-2
Weight: 265 lbs
Stats: 128 tackles, 47 1/2 tackles for loss, 34 sacks, 2 interceptions, 6 passes defended, 3 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery in 40 games
Comment: Weaver recorded at least 9 1/2 sacks in each of the three seasons he played for the Boise State Broncos -- 11 as a redshirt freshman, followed by 9 1/2 as a redshirt sophomore and 13 as a redshirt junior. Weaver, who can play both outside linebacker and defensive end, finished his career as the Mountain West Conference’s all-time sacks leader, although his relative lack of size and athleticism caused him to drop to Day 3.
