- He first joined as a consultant for Miami’s front-office searches and was reported to have helped the team hire Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley.
- Miami holds 11 draft picks, including Nos. 11 and 30 in the first round, and reporters note needs at wide receiver and cornerback with the draft starting April 23 in Pittsburgh.
