and deepen backup depth of Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins nabbed Clay by
moving up five spots through a trade with the Green Bay Packers. Clay
started all 13 games as a senior and caught 43 passes for 526 yards
and a team-best seven touchdowns and also rushed for 226 yards and a
career-best 6-point-6 yards per carry. His best season as a receiver
came as a freshman when he hauled in 69 passes for 1,024 yards and seven
scores. In his four-year career, he amassed 2,544 yards and 28
touchdowns through the air. His 38 total touchdowns was just one shy of
tying the school’s career mark which is currently held by Tarrion
Adams. “In this draft there are a lot of players that have a lot of
flexibility, but when you look at his background he has had 500 yards
rushing, he has had 189 catches, he has caught the ball for 2,500-plus
yards, has touchdowns rushing and touchdowns catching,” said Dolphins
head coach Tony Sparano. “”He has been through a couple of different
coaches and a few different systems, so when you are looking at him, and
we have done our homework, the mental part of this whole thing for
him and the ability to use him a few different ways from a flexibility
standpoint I think helps us.” Clay is the first Tulsa player taken in
the draft since 2008, when the St. Louis Rams selected Chris
Chamberlain in the seventh round. That pick went pretty well for the
Rams as Chamberlain has not only made the team, but has played all
three seasons, including six starts at linebacker in 2010.
