De&#8217;Von Achane played at Texas A&amp;M. In 2022, incoming freshman running back\u00a0Le&#8217;Veon Moss joined the squad.\u00a0The Dolphins quickly signed Moss to a UDFA contract when the draft ended, putting the two runners on the same team once again.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Jaylen Wright&#8217;s roster position continues to be under the Miami Dolphins microscope<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Jaylen Wright is facing a critical season in 2026, but he has to make the roster first. The Dolphins will work through their offseason practices with Achane, Wright, Ollie Gordon, Donovan Edwards, and now Moss on the RB unit, but Moss isn&#8217;t just a camp guy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Dolphins did their research, and you have to wonder if Sullivan or Jeff Hafley reached out to Achane to get his opinion on the RB. If you are going to put in the work to find out what a player is like, wouldn&#8217;t you talk to one of the players on your own roster who played with him?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Wright has only two seasons under his belt, and neither of them stood out for anything more than a few flashes. It&#8217;s not all his fault. Mike McDaniel relied upon Achane and Raheem Mostert more than Wright. Last year, Gordon got into the mix as well.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Wright has not been the focal point of Miami&#8217;s offense, even as a backup. He took just 17% of the Dolphins&#8217; offensive snaps in his rookie season and only 22% in his second. Gordon took 22.7% of the snaps in 2025.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Moss is an intriguing running back. He has track speed and can do a lot of damage on the goal line and in short-yardage situations. His biggest issue is staying healthy.\u00a0In his four-year career at A&amp;M, Moss played in 32 games, but only made it to 9 games, twice with his freshman and senior seasons, and only seven games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Despite this, Moss has put up good numbers. He averaged 5.5 yards per carry, had 22 touchdowns, 24 receptions, and rushed for 1,767 yards on 321 attempts.\u00a0Moss is in Miami to compete for a roster spot.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">That roster spot currently belongs to Gordon and Wright, but the tape on Gordon looks better. What shouldn&#8217;t have been a big competition in training camp will now most assuredly be one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Miami Dolphins were enamored with the state of Texas during the draft.
