Achane, 24, is coming off his first Pro Bowl campaign, which was also his first season to eclipse 1,000 rushing yards. However, Achane has been excellent since he started his career.
In his first three years, Achane is averaging 1,019 rushing yards and 7.3 rushing scores per season. He’s also a solid weapon out of the backfield, as evidenced by his averages of 55.6 receptions and 4.3 TD catches.
In 2025, when the Dolphins struggled, Achane was often the lone highlight, recording 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground, while adding 67 catches for 488 yards with four more receiving TDs.
Achane has only played under Mike McDaniel so far in his pro career. McDaniel’s was replaced by Jeff Hafley, but offensive coordinator Frank Smith remains and the Dolphins have faith in Achane that he will be the centerpiece of a hopefully fruitful future for the team.
