Building on his January advisory role that helped the Miami Dolphins hire head coach Jeff Hafley and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and ESPN analyst Troy Aikman will join the team's war room for the upcoming NFL Draft. The three-time Super Bowl champion confirmed his continued involvement in an undefined consulting capacity during a recent interview.
The Dolphins enlisted Aikman in January amid a front-office overhaul following the October firing of longtime GM Chris Grier. His input contributed to the hires of Jeff Hafley as head coach on January 19 and Jon-Eric Sullivan as general manager. Instead of departing post-hires, Aikman agreed to remain with the organization. He confirmed his next step, stating, 'I'll be in Miami for the draft. I'll be in their facility.'
