Chris Perkins: Dolphins RB De'Von Achane gets well-deserved Pro Bowl honor
"Achane, No. 3 in the league in rushing at 1,267 yards and No. 1 in the league in yards per carry at 5.8, represents what this Dolphins franchise wants to be on both sides of the line of scrimmage - tough, hard-working, focused and more concerned with on-field business than social media likes, touchdown celebrations or other such things. It's the first Pro Bowl berth for Achane, and it's a well-deserved honor. He speaks softly and plays loudly."
"Achane, a dual threat, has 64 receptions for 459 yards and four touchdowns. By season's end, which is two games away, he could rival last year's receiving totals of 78 receptions for 592 yards and six touchdowns. His 1,726 yards from scrimmage are No. 3 on the franchise single-season list, trailing only wide receiver Tyreek Hill (1,814 yards in 2023) and running back Ricky Williams (2,216 yards in 2002)."
De'Von Achane earned a spot on the AFC Pro Bowl roster and will participate in the Pro Bowl Games and skills contest Feb. 3 in San Francisco. Achane rushed for 1,267 yards (third in the league) and led the NFL with a 5.8 yards-per-carry average. He added 64 receptions for 459 yards and four touchdowns, totaling 1,726 yards from scrimmage (third in franchise single-season history). The 2023 third-round pick from Texas A&M exemplifies Miami's draft-and-develop approach, has improved durability despite a 5-foot-9, 191-pound frame, and merits a contract extension.
