RB Chandler Cox

(What is it like to have a lifetime dream of being drafted happen for you?) – “It’s incredible. I’ve been out here on the boat with my family all day just trying to wait for a phone call. I was hoping for Miami the whole time because I took a few visits and I came down to Miami and that was by far the best one. It’s just an organization that I would love to be a part of and it’s a dream come true to get drafted. I’m so excited. I’m from Apopka, Florida, so it’s about three hours north. So I’m coming home.”

(Where were you? On a boat? Where?) – “Yes, sir. I’m out in St. George, Utah with my mom and my stepdad, and my little brother and sister, and my oldest brother, my girlfriend and his girlfriend. We’re out here on one of the lakes in St. George.”

(Fullback seems to be a dying breed of a position. What made you play it?) – “It’s just being physical. I love the position. I know it’s a dying breed but I want to be one of those guys to bring it back because it’s one of those things that teams need a guy that can be physical and do a lot of things and just help the energy of the team. That’s why I love playing it so much.”

(You said you’re from Apopka?) – “Yes, sir. I went to Apopka High School.”

(Did you come close at all or were you close to going to any of the schools in Florida?) – “I was, yeah. I almost went to the University of Florida but I took more visits and I ended up at Auburn just because I fell in love with it. But I was always a Gator growing up.”

(Do you have a special teams background?) – “Yes, sir. I do. I played all special teams at Auburn. I started on kickoff return all four years and I was a backup on all of the rest. I was also a wing on the field goal team.”

(What do you feel like is your best trait?) – “Just my versatility. I can play different positions. In high school, I was a quarterback, too. So I had to transition to play fullback at Auburn. I played a little bit of Wildcat quarterback there and I split out to receiver and played some tight end. I did a bunch of different things for them, so that was something that I think is my best trait that I can help the team.”

(Did you get very much with the Dolphins into talking about your role? Because they don’t use a traditional fullback. Did you talk about how they could use you?) – “We did, yes. They told me little things but I’m just trying to help them any way I can. Whatever they ask me to do – whether it’s just special teams or whether it’s just fullback – whatever it may be, I’m willing to do it. I’m going to do it to the best of my ability and try to just help the team win.”
