In 2021, the Miami Dolphins’ rushing attack was lackluster, to say the least.
Prior to Week 14 when Duke Johnson took over as the lead back, the Dolphins had averaged just 79.2 rushing yards per game, the second-lowest average in the NFL ahead of only Houston.
By the end of the year, Miami had improved to 92.2 yards per game, but that was still the fourth-fewest per game with Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Houston rounding out the league.
This offseason, the Dolphins made a number of moves to improve their rushing attack, including switching to a new offensive system and bringing in more talented players to block for the backs.
Before training camp starts, it’s fitting to look around and assess where the team is at each position and take stock of the players and their roles. After looking at quarterbacks on Tuesday, we’ll look at running backs.
