He was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2024 after totaling career bests with 79 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks and two interceptions -- both returned for touchdowns -- in 17 games (all starts).
He played his first five seasons with the Miami Dolphins (2019-23), and for his career has 329 tackles, 49 TFL, 28.5 sacks, 76 quarterback hits, four interceptions, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
Miami selected Van Ginkel in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
