Dolphins select running back Ollie Gordon II with 179th pick. Reaction from analysts
"Ollie Gordon II, selected by the Dolphins, has shown impressive college statistics with 880 rushing yards last season, but faced a decline in performance."
"Critics point to an off-year for Gordon in 2024 that might have stemmed from a struggling offensive line, affecting his ability to produce."
"Gordon's potential as a physical running back is acknowledged, yet concerns remain regarding his consistency compared to a standout 2023 season."
"Analysts are divided on whether the Dolphins can recapture Gordon's previous level of performance that made him a Heisman candidate."
The Miami Dolphins selected running back Ollie Gordon II in the sixth round, a productive player despite a drop in performance last season compared to a stellar 2023. Gordon amassed 880 yards and 13 touchdowns, coming off a season where he led the FBS with 21 rushing touchdowns. Analysts express mixed views on his potential resurgence, citing a poor offensive line affecting his performance in 2024. Some believe if he regains his 2023 form, he can be a strong asset for the team, but there are lingering concerns.
