The Miami Dolphins are hosting quarterbacks Jalon Daniels from Kansas and Mark Gronowski from Iowa for pre-draft visits ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Both players have impressive college stats and could be potential picks in the upcoming draft.

Thursday marks one week until the start of the 2026 NFL Draft. But, today is not Thursday and today the Miami Dolphins are hosting a pair of quarterbacks who could hear their names called at some point during this year’s selection process.
First, Kansas signal-caller Jalon Daniels has been summoned to Miami Gardens for a top-30 visit. Daniels — a popular name for pre-draft visits recently — stands at just 6’1” while weighing in at 219 lb. In his six (!) seasons as a member of the Jayhawks, Daniels has totaled 9,282 yards passing, while tossing 67 touchdowns and throwing 31 interceptions. He completed 61.5% of his passes in college. He added 1,445 yards rushing — scoring 23 touchdowns with his legs.
The second name on Miami’s quarterback visit list for Tuesday is Iowa’s Mark Gronowski. The 6’2”, 235 lb quarterback played four seasons with South Dakota State before becoming a Hawkeye for his final collegiate season. During his five year career, Gronowski threw for 12,071 yards, 103 touchdowns and 27 interceptions. He completed 63.5% of his passes. He added 2,312 yards with his legs — scoring 53 rushing touchdowns during his time with SDSU and Iowa.
Both quarterbacks are widely considered to be Day-3 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft — with some predicting that one or both could end up as undrafted free agent signings after the conclusion of the selection process.
