Dolphins speedback who cracked 1,350 rushing yards in 2025, fifth in the NFL.
De'Von Achane is the fastest-timed running back in the NFL. He turned 226 carries into 1,350 rushing yards in 2025 (6.0 ypc) and added 600 receiving yards. Miami's offense built its red-zone identity around getting him in space, and the production followed.
