Dolphins select Texas guard DJ Campbell in sixth round of 2026 NFL Draft

The Miami Dolphins select Texas guard DJ Campbell with the No. 200 pick in the sixth round.

This was Miami’s only pick in the sixth round yet the third Longhorn taken on day three.

A three-year starter at Texas, Campbell has seen his fair share of matchups against the premier talent in the SEC. The 6-foot-3-inch, 313-pound guard has shown great power throughout his 43 starts.

“DJ is a big strong player on the inside,” said Matt Winston, the Dolphins’ director of college scouting, praising his length 34-inch arms. “He plays square, moves people. He’s got some stuff that all players can clean up, especially on the offensive line from a technique standpoint, but expect him to come in here, work hard, compete and push those guys.”
