Miami Dolphins AFC East

When Willis signed his three-year, $67.5 million deal in March, Miami still had an established No. 1 receiver in Jaylen Waddle, who has since been traded to Denver. As a result, the Dolphins now enter the summer with a far less proven receiving corps headlined by Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell and TE Greg Dulcich, while rookies Caleb Douglas (undisclosed), Chris Bell (ACL) and Kevin Coleman continue to compete for roles. Another factor in Willis' uneven start to OTAs and minicamp has been the absence of De'Von Achane (shoulder), arguably Miami's most dynamic pass catcher, who has been limited to individual drills while recovering from an offseason procedure. OC Bobby Slowik suggested Thursday developing chemistry with the team's receivers will "probably be an ongoing process all the way up to the regular-season start." Much of Willis' fantasy appeal stems from his dual-threat ability, but it would still be encouraging to see the passing game gain traction once training camp begins in July.

It sounds like Wright is off to a good start under the new coaching staff, competing with Ollie Gordon, Donovan Edwards and others for backup backfield roles behind De'Von Achane. One of the bunch could see a decent number of carries, as the Dolphins presumably won't want the sub-200-pound Achane butting heads between the tackles repeatedly. Wright was billed as a big-play threat rather than a power runner when the Dolphins took him in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but he does have decent size (5-foot-10, 208 pounds) to go with his 4.38 speed (2024 Combine).

Reagor will now be joining his fifth different team since Philadelphia selected him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. The Dolphins' competition for snaps at wide receiver appears wide open behind 2024 sixth-rounder Malik Washington, so Reagor could have a fighting chance at a spot on the 53-man roster.

"Hopefully [Robinson] becomes an every-down player," Hafley said. The 2024 first-round pick missed Week 18 of the 2025 season due to a concussion, but he's been a full participant at voluntary OTAs, per Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post. Robinson has flashed as a pass rusher, totaling 10.0 sacks across his first two seasons against the league, but his inconsistent performance against the run has limited his total workload, as he played just 415 defensive snaps across 15 regular-season appearances last year. Robinson has added seven pounds of muscle this offseason, which he hopes to help him transition into an every-down role following the release of Bradley Chubb (now with Buffalo).

Washington played exactly one game in each of the last two seasons with the Falcons, and he stuck to special teams in both instances. The Southeastern Louisiana product is likely vying for the No. 4 running back role behind De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon.

Gronowski was the South Dakota State starting quarterback for four years before transferring to Iowa in 2025. Through 13 games as a Hawkeye, Gronowski completed 166 of 262 pass attempts (63.0 percent) for 1,741 yards and 10 touchdowns along with seven interceptions. The 24-year-old also added 130 carries for 545 yards and 16 rushing touchdowns during his final season. Gronowski will compete with Quinn Ewers (knee) and Cam Miller throughout training camp for the No. 2 role behind Malik Willis.

Hankerson played two years at Colorado before transferring to Oregon State for his final two collegiate seasons. The running back produced 1,086 yards and nine touchdowns over 247 rush attempts in 2025. He also added 123 receiving yards on 22 receptions. Hankerson has a tough task ahead, likely needing to beat out Ollie Gordon in training camp to garner the No. 3 running back spot and remain on the Dolphins' active roster.

McCulley played at Indiana for four years and started 15 games before transferring to Michigan in 2025. The wide receiver produced 588 yards and three touchdowns on 39 catches over 13 starts for the Wolverines. The Dolphins drafted three wide receivers this year and have acquired a wealth of depth to fill the room, so surviving training camp will be quite the challenge for McCulley.

Sullivan said that Proctor will train at both tackle and guard, but to begin the season, 2025 second-rounder Jonah Savaiinaea will go to right guard to make room for Proctor at left guard. He won't turn 21 until June, and despite his otherwise massive stature, his 33-inch arms are short by tackle standards, so it makes decent sense that Miami won't task him with protecting recent signing Malik Willis' blindside right off the bat.

Washington remains a major beneficiary of the Dolphins' decision to trade Jaylen Waddle to Denver and cut Tyreek Hill (ACL) this offseason, with an argument to be made that he stands as the No. 1 WR for new QB Malik Willis even after Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell were signed in free agency. Miami adding two third-round rookie wideouts in Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell (ACL), plus Kevin Coleman in the fifth round, doesn't necessarily knock Washington out of the mix for the top spot, but the 2024 sixth-rounder now is facing significantly more competition for targets in what may be a run-first offense led by RB De'Von Achane and Willis' dual-threat abilities. Washington posted 427 total yards on offense and four TDs while also thriving in the return game last season, and he's presumably recovered from the thumb injury he sustained Week 18.

Wease played substantial snaps at wide receiver for the Dolphins' last three contests of the 2025 season. He caught six of his 10 targets for 130 yards and one touchdown over the three-game span. The team drafted Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell (ACL) in the third round of the 2026 draft, as well as Kevin Coleman in the fifth round. With all three new receivers set to compete throughout the preseason, Wease may have to show out to remain on the roster.

Coleman played for four different schools during his four-year college career, which ended in 2025 with Missouri, when he posted 66 catches for 732 yards and one touchdown across 13 games. He served primarily as a slot wide receiver and had the explosiveness to beat the first man, and his experience as a punt returner could earn him playing time in his rookie season in the NFL. Coleman is the third wide receiver selected by the Dolphins in this year's draft, joining Texas Tech's Caleb Douglas and Louisville's Chris Bell.
