The Miami Dolphins are angling to move themselves up the standings this season — the 2019 campaign saw the Dolphins finish last in the AFC East and with one of the five worst records in football. That wasn’t necessarily unexpected, but to see the same results in 2020 would certainly be a disappointing development after so much new talent was added to the team this offseason.
More expectations will naturally lead to more pressure — and these are four Miami Dolphins players who will have pressure to perform in 2020. If they don’t, the Dolphins could be in the market for a replacement next winter.
WR Jakeem Grant
Grant is a very likable talent who brings explosive speed and the potential for big plays down the field. With his suddenness in short spaces, Grant poses a unique matchup for opposing defenders — but he’s struggled with durability throughout the past few seasons and has never been more than a complimentary player to this point in his career. If Grant is going to be taken seriously as a potential long-term staple of the wide receiver room, this needs to be the year he steps up.
