Dolphins Draft Origins Of 1967 Super Bowl Team
Miami began assembling its present Super Bowl roster in 1967 by choosing Bob Griese over Steve Spurrier after a draft trade reshaped the pool. The process included the 49ers swapping picks to spurrier, leaving Griese to Miami, and laying a foundation built by Joe Thomas and Don Shula for years ahead. The article traces key Dolphins selections from 1965 onward, outlining trades, picks, and players who formed the core.
