Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier usually spends at least one draft pick on a running back each year. In fact, in the last eight drafts, he has drafted a running back seven times. De'Von Achane may be the starter, but Ollie Gordon is giving head coach Mike McDaniel a reason to give him more reps.
Gordon has played well in training camp and throughout the preseason. On Saturday night, the rookie took over the starting job with Achane and Jaylen Wright sitting the game out with injuries. It didn't take long for McDaniel to realize how important Gordon could become in his offense.
