In the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft the Dolphins added University of Florida running back Mike Gillislee, who is 5-foot-11, 207 pounds. The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports that Gillislee will compete with Lamar Miller, Daniel Thomas, Marcus Thigpen and Jonas Gray for the starting spot vacated by Reggie Bush. Gillislee spent most of his career at Florida as a backup but started 11 games in his senior season, rushing for 1,152 yards and scored 10 rushing touchdowns. "I'm a complete back," said Gillislee, who was projected as a fourth-round pick. "I'm a good competitor." He rushed for 2,072 yards on 389 carries (5.3 yards per carry) and scored 20 touchdowns during his career. He also caught 23 passes for 182 yards and scored two touchdowns through the air.
