Tua Tagovailoa impressed with Miami Dolphins rookie running back De’Von Achane

The Miami Dolphins selected running back De’Von Achane in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft — the first running back selected that high by Miami since they drafted Kenyan Drake in the third round in 2016.

When the selection was made, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was visibly fired up — pumping his fist as the network coverage took a peek inside Miami’s draft room.

McDaniel apparently isn’t the only member of the Miami Dolphins who is excited about De’Von Achane’s potential fit within the organization’s offense.

Speaking with Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post last week, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had high praise for Miami’s new speedster on offense, De’Von Achane.
