LB Jacob Rodriguez
The second-rounder continues to impress. Rodriguez had a pass break-up early in practice and later was there plugging up a hole to deny De'Von Achane a gain up the middle. He's still a rookie even though he plays with aggression, not hesitation, that you'll normally find from a veteran.
The receiving room is looking for players to step forward. Washington did that in this workout, including when he went deep to catch a ball fromCam Miller.
Both linemen had multiple reps in which they held their own in one-on-one blocking drills. Paul and centerAaron Brewerform the nucleus of the line, so it's to be expected. Proctor, the left guard, showed why he was a first-round pick.
Fins down
The rushing attack
On a day when the defense tackled to the ground in various periods, it was tough not to notice the string of plays in which running backs went nowhere.Ollie Gordon, whom the Dolphins count on for the tough yards, found little running space, including a play whenZeek Biggerswas there waiting for him.
