Larry Csonka was the first Back drafted in 1968, but the first two seasons were a struggle due to poor play and injuries. While the start would not be great, the arrival of Don Shula in 1970 changed all of that.
Dwight Stephenson played mostly on Special Teams in his first two seasons in the NFL after being chosen from Alabama in the second round of the 1980 draft, but by 1982 he was ready to become one of the best Centers in the game.
With the ninth overall pick in the 1990 Draft, the Miami Dolphins chose the hulking Richmond Webb with the purpose of protecting Dan Marino’s left side. The former Texas A&M Aggie did just that.
After two unremarkable seasons as a backup Guard with the San Diego Chargers, Larry Little was traded to the Miami Dolphins for Mack Lamb. Little was not thrilled as the Dolphins were not particularly good at the time, but that feeling would quickly change as Miami was building something special. As for the Chargers, Lamb never played for them.
We guess we know who won this trade.
