"Achane has been the spark for the Dolphins offense in 2025, leading the league in rushing average (5.8 yards per carry) and ranking third in rushing yards (1,267) with two games remaining. "De'Von has found a way to improve his close-quarter yards and has new level of confidence with his vision," coach Mike McDaniel said Monday, adding he was deserving of the honor. "When we're able to get him to one defender, where he just has to make one defender miss, he's consistently doing that at an explosive rate.""
"The speedy Achane, who was named to his first Pro Bowl in his third season, has already notched the Dolphins' fourth-highest single-season rushing total in 2025. He is 5 yards away from Jay Ajayi's 1,272 yards in 2016 for No. 3, and Ricky Williams' No. 2 mark of 1,372 yards in 2003 is also within reach. Williams' franchise record is 1,853, established in 2002."
"Achane has been instrumental to team success, as Miami (6-9) is 5-0 this season when he has more than 20 touches. He will go into 2026 on the final year of his rookie contract and could have an extension on his way, but that'll be up to whoever will be making decisions from the team's vacant general manager role."
De'Von Achane earned a Pro Bowl selection after a breakout 2025 season, leading the NFL in rushing average (5.8) and ranking third in rushing yards (1,267) with two games remaining. Achane has produced the Dolphins' fourth-highest single-season rushing total and sits five yards behind Jay Ajayi for third, with Ricky Williams' No. 2 mark also within reach. Miami is 5-0 when Achane records more than 20 touches and has a 6-9 record overall. Achane will enter 2026 on the final year of his rookie contract, with any extension dependent on the team's vacant general manager role. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks, who leads the NFL with 169 tackles, was omitted from the initial AFC Pro Bowl selections.
