Dolphins find yet another dynamo RB in rookie Jaylen Wright

Talk about the rich getting richer. The Miami Dolphins went into this offseason already having one of the most loaded backfields in the entire NFL following the breakout of now second year pro De’Von Achane and the consistent dominance of long time veteran Raheem Mostert. Behind those elite players was also two other backs that have had success in NFL like Jeff Wilson Jr. and Salvon Ahmed. Now it appears that Mike McDaniel and the Dolphins have found yet another capable back that is looking as good as any of them in fourth round rookie Jaylen Wright.

Wright impressed in his first preseason action, showing the explosiveness and vision that made him one of the highest ranked running backs of the 2024 NFL Draft. On only ten touches Wright managed to wrack up 55 yards, averaging an impressive 5.5 yards per carry, and he looked even more electric than the stats showed.

If Wright continues to put on a show in the preseason, it’s going to be an embarrassment of riches in Miami and McDaniel may have trouble finding ways to feed to ball to all his different playmakers. A definitively good problem to have. It’s clear that the Dolphins have the most explosive offense in the entire league, and they are going to maintain that status so long as they keep finding apparent gems like Wright.
