Achane's impressive performance in the loss against the Buffalo Bills suggests he might be ready to take on an even bigger role
In a game where the Miami Dolphins offense struggled to find its footing, De'Von Achane stood out as a beacon of hope.
"I thought De'Von really showed some cool professional growth in a short week," McDaniel said after the game Thursday. "He knew we had already taken a hit at that position, and what he was able to do tonight was impressive. He was literally living in the training room to get out there. I thought it was a cool individual piece of growth in an otherwise pretty miserable experience.
Achane’s contributions Thursday were even more impressive given that he played through an ankle injury. Listed as questionable before the game, he became a game-time decision and ultimately delivered one of the best performances of his young career after taking the field.Achane’s 29 total touches demonstrated not only his durability but also his potential to be Miami’s primary back.
"He’s going to keep getting better and help this offense," Hill told reporters last Sunday. "You can never have too much speed on the field at once. Having him available is going to be special."Achane made history by scoring 13 touchdowns in his first 13 games, the most by any Dolphins running back since 1970. He’s also racked up 920 rushing yards, setting a new record for a Dolphins running back over the first 13 games of a career.
