THE Miami Dolphins“The best half-runners seem to be set for the 2025 season.
The main rusher de’von Achane took a significant step forward in the offense, producing 1,499 yards from melee. And although Jaylen Wright did not play a big role in his recruited season, he probably seems to be a larger part of the Miami offensive in two years.
But the Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel and his staff have not finished adding to the rear field.
“I am fired [about] The incomplete room, “said McDaniel during the NFL 2025 scout combination.” Right now, I feel extremely strong to know who is in the room knowing that it will increase by two to three people. I think that part of our vision in the future is that we are waiting for great expectations with regard to this tandem of De’von [Achane] and Jaylen [Wright] And think they give us the opportunity to be really effective putting the ball and doing things in the passage game.
“I am delighted to see how the play is filling up knowing that we only have two under contracts, but I am very excited by these two and motivated to make more than two.”
Although McDaniel’s offensive uses a few spans, it seems likely that all adds would be more to help in depth. Dolphins will seek to fill specific roles rather than finding runners to carry the load.
Here are eight runners that Miami could continue during the 2025 off -season:
Samaje Perine (chefs)
In recent years, Perine has become one of the most reliable veterans in the league. If McDaniel sees value in his skills, Miami could bring a back that played a match for the Dolphins in 2019.
The value of a period is mainly in the form of aid for success. It is among the best protective runners against passes in the NFL, and it has also proven to be effective as a pass sensor.
He spent last season with the chiefs for a one -year contract of $ 1.5 million. If Perine is looking to play for a competitor and thinks that Miami adapts to the bill, he could take a cheap contract for a chance to win a super bowl.
Onta Foreman (Browns)
From Onta Foreman is an ideal emergency ball carrier, and he would be a change of rhythm compared to the typical targets of McDaniel. Foreman is less a speedster and the more a physical runner, which failed in the offensive of the Dolphins.
He has a lot of sense as a depth piece that could intensify and manage a larger workload if necessary. Foreman had trouble finding a coherence with an NFL team during his career, but Miami could benefit from his talents.
Last year, he had 71 rushes for 232 yards and no touched, but he showed more in previous seasons. With Bear In 2023, he had 109 races for 425 yards and four affected. In 2022, he produced 914 yards and five affected on 203 races for the Panthers.
He should not be the team’s starter, but he is certainly one of the best available backups.
Elijah Mitchell (49ers))
It is not a secret for anyone that McDaniel is a fan of the reunition with the former players 49ers. And with McDaniel and the former Niners in the Elijah Mitchell balloon wearing for the 2021 season, the old sixth round choice could have a meaning in Miami.
After solidifying as a good adjustment in the San Francisco system, Mitchell missed all the 2024 season with a hamstring injury. If it is not too expensive, Mitchell would be an excellent addition as an option to share backup racks with Wright.
This would be Mitchell’s first contract following his recruit contract, so he may be looking for a salary increase.
Trayveon Williams (Bengals)
Trayveon Williams has spent the last six years in Cincinnati. He would not be the most dynamic ball carrier, but he would be a piece of perfect depth to fill the room.
Williams would work mainly as a special team contributor with the capacity to play the ball if the dolphins were in need. It would not be a flashy addition, but a special veteran teammate who doubles a ball carrier would be an intelligent signature.
Treveyon Henderson (Ohio State)
If Miami does not add much to the post of ball carrier in a free agency, this year’s draft class has a lot of talent.
Although it may be a little too high of a choice for Miami, the former Ohio State is the exact type of ball carrier that McDaniel loves. In fact, whoever looked at the scouting of NFL 2025 probably noticed.
Henderson ran a 4.43 40 yards dashboard with a division of 1.52 10 yards. According to NFL Next Gen statisticsHe obtained the highest combination athletics score.
Devin Neal (Kansas)
The former Rusher of Jayhawks did not very well tested the combine harvester, but he is one of the most productive backs of the draft class.
Neal had a 4.58 40 yard dashboard with a split of 1.59 10 yards, but the return of the four -year kansas accumulated more than 4,000 yards on the ground at the end of his university days. In the past two seasons, he recorded 2,546 yards and 32 affected.
He is a dynamic offensive player, despite his tests lower than the combination, which could work in the fold in this season.
RJ Harvey (UCF)
Although the UCF is not known to have launched talents from the NFL, Harvey is a favorite perspective under the radar of this year.
Harvey rushed to 1,577 yards and 22 hit last year, and 1,416 yards and 16 affected the previous year. Then he showed his speed at the combine harvester.
While its split of 10 yards was n ° 15 among the runners, its dashboard of 4.40 40 yards was fourth in position. If Harvey is available on the 3rd day of the NFL 2025 draft, it would be an excellent target for Miami.
Tahj Brooks (Texas Tech)
Brooks cannot call many games at home, but it would be a big change in pace compared to the rapid backs of dolphins.
Brooks did not have an excellent time of 40 yards, but its ability to run with power would be a nice tool for Miami. He ran for 17 affected with the Red Raiders last year and had more than 1,500 yards on the ground during each of the last two seasons.
The experienced back would be a good late option for dolphins.
