The Miami Dolphins have signed sixth-round pick Andrew Gardner, the Georgia Tech ironman who started 48 straight games at left tackle.

Terms were not disclosed, but it was believed to be a four-year deal totaling about $1.65 million, including a $75,000 signing bonus, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Gardner (6-6, 305) played left tackle on the second unit during Miami's offseason workouts. He's the second Dolphins draft pick to sign, following fifth-round tight end John Nalbone of Monmouth.

A first-team All-ACC selection, Gardner will battle for a reserve tackle spot behind Miami starters Jake Long and Vernon Carey, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
