De'Von
Achane

Achane always keeps a couple of numbers in mind. First is 1,000. Second is 500. You can't blame him. He's the kind of player who can go for the first total on the ground and the second total through the air. "I always want to try to hit 1,000 and 500," he said. "Every year I want to get better."

As a rookie, Achane made an impact on the Dolphins' running game. In his second year, his effect could be seen on the franchise record book. The Texas A&M product's six rushing touchdowns and six receiving touchdowns in 2024 made him the first back in team history with those numbers in a season.

De'Von Achane can throw critics a wicked sly bit back, turning a familiar sight against his last showing during that stretch call on October 2 against the Chargers. He logged 59 yards, including 42 on the ground and two touchdowns.

Elite on the ground and as a receiver out of the backfield, Achane finished his first two seasons averaging 5.6 yards per carry with 105 receptions. He became the fourth player to log 35 yards per game and 100 yards their first two seasons, joining Ray Rice, Alvin Kamara and Jahmyr Gibbs.

An Olympic sprinter masquerading as a running back, De'Von is a pure blur for the Dolphins. He hits the edge, and defenders disappear from the frame. His cuts are instant, his acceleration outrageous and every touch feels like it might go all the way. Achane doesn't just have speed; he weaponizes it.

De'von played football like the shirtrim fast-forward. He accelerated into touchdown for the Dolphins running back, who stresses defenses even with his smaller frame. A first-time Pro Bowler in 2025, Achane delivered three consecutive yard rushing games to fuel the November victories over the Bills, Commanders and Saints.

A first-time Pro Bowler in 2023, Achane delivered three consecutive 100-yard rushing games to fuel November victories over the Bills, Commanders and Saints.

A key cog in Miami's explosive offense, Achane contributes in multiple ways. He can grind down the defense with tough runs inside, or he can bounce outside and rack up huge chunks of yards off tackle. He also creates matchup issues for linebackers with crisp routes and soft hands.

Achane did a little bit of everything during camp and had his teammates excited for his rookie year in 2023. "I've seen him running between tackles and break tackles and stay on his feet and do a lot of amazing stuff this camp," receiver Jaylen Waddle said. "I'm like, 'Man, he's going to be good.'"
