Description
Chandler Cox is a free agent fullback most recently playing for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League. Cox was drafted by the Dolphins in the 7th Round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The talented fullback played college football for the Auburn Tigers. He played in 52 games with 41 career starts. He was a 4-star fullback from Apopka (Fla.) High School where he did a little bit of everything, including play quarterback.
Cox began his journey at Auburn as an early enrollee in January of 2015, sacrificing the last semester of his senior year at Apopka High School in Florida to come to Auburn early in hopes of making a quick impact and helping his new team as soon as possible. It wasn’t easy graduating high school early. He missed the prom and spring break with his friends. He also was thrown into the fire at Auburn where he was going up against guys bigger and stronger than he ever saw in high school. But his hard work and determination were rewarded as he became the starting H-back his freshman year on the Plains.
As a freshman, it was about finding ways to contribute. But Cox evolved into so much more while at Auburn and his role continued to grow. It wasn’t just about getting that key block to open a hole for the running back or catching a pass out of the backfield. It was his consistency every day, being a dependable teammate and becoming one of the more influential leaders on the team. That leadership stemmed from former Auburn linebacker Justin Garrett. The two were locker buddies when Garrett was a senior and Cox was just a freshman, and Garrett showed Cox what it meant to be a true leader.
In 2018, the four-year starter caught a career-best four catches for 52 yards vs. Washington. Cox also added three catches for 20 yards against LSU. He caught his first career touchdown reception vs. Southern Mississippi and added a 1-yard TD run against Tennessee. Cox also added a 1-yard TD run in the fourth quarter in the 28-24 win over the Texas A&M Aggies.
Cox was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the seventh round (233rd overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft. He made the opening roster after embracing being a blocker. Cox has appeared in 21 games, with six starts, for the Dolphins after being a seventh-round pick in 2019. He has two receptions for nine yards in his career. In the 2020 season, Cox appeared in eight games, including three starts.
