Dolphins QB Kyle McCord: Experience in big games something I can draw from
That's a lot of firsts for one game, but McCord said his time at Ohio State and Syracuse is "something that you definitely can hang your hat on" because it gave him experience on big stages.
- "It's a blessing, but I think once you get the first play call on the helmet and get going, I think it'll feel just like football," McCord said, via a transcript from the team.
- It will also be McCord's first regular season action and first game snaps of any kind with the Dolphins.
- The 2025 sixth-round pick spent last season on the Eagles' practice squad and spent the summer with the Packers before being traded to Miami at the end of August.
"And I feel like going back to what I was just saying, that's something that having played in those big college games, I think you've been in those moments before.
The Dolphins placed Malik Willis on injured reserve this week and that means Kyle McCord will be making his first NFL start when they face the Colts on Sunday.
- It's not my first time I'm playing in a big game.
