Jevon Holland Going to Miami Early in Second Round of 2021 NFL Draft

The Miami Dolphins made Oregon safety Jevon Holland the fourth pick in the second round (No. 36 overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Holland is the first safety off the board in 2021. He’s also the first defensive back drafted in the first two rounds out of Oregon since T.J. Ward in 201o. Ducks DBs have been picked in the first two rounds of the NFL Draft now nine times.

He sat out last season after two great seasons in Eugene. Holland collected 108 total tackles (71 solo), 1o passes defensed, nine interceptions and a touchdown during his Ducks career.

He also showed he’s a capable returner on special teams. Holland had 244 return yards on 14 tries (15.3 yards per return) last season.

From the moment he was drafted, head coach Brian Flores is going to be on Holland.

Coach Flo to @HollywoodVon: “Hey, so, just so you know, I’m a safeties coach at heart. So I’m gonna be on you pretty good.” 😅#FinsUp x @Verizon pic.twitter.com/i0zFf6FSgC
