The Miami Dolphins will host Rutgers defensive tackle Kyonte Hamilton for a private "Top 30" visit ahead of the 2025 NFL draft, according to Justin Melo of The Draft Network.
Hamilton didn't receive an invite to the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine earlier this year, but his strong numbers at the Rutgers Pro Day stacked up well against other prospects in the class. He reportedly put up 29 reps on the bench press and ran a 4.95 40-yard dash at 6'3, 305 pounds.
"I think most evaluators see me being an interior player at the next level," Hamilton told Melo in an interview in March. "I’m an interior defensive lineman, maybe a 3-tech or defensive tackle. I can play a little nose guard as well.
"I definitely want to have the ability to play wherever I’m needed though. I want to be the first guy they call when somebody goes down. I want to be known as a versatile chess piece moving forward."
Each NFL team is allowed to bring in 30 players for private workouts or visits at their facility ahead of the draft. Last year, the list of players reportedly brought in by the Dolphins didn't include any of the seven picked by the team in the 2024 NFL draft.
