Dolphins’ De’Von Achane Reveals Goals for 2025 Season

Speed isn't the end-all be-all, though, and Achane knows that. Coming off his sophomore season in the NFL, which saw him rack up 907 rushing yards on 203 carries, the Texas A&M product knows he still has room for improvement.

Achane is a home-run hitter, able to break off long runs any chance he has the ball in his hands.

However, he is also prone to negative plays, losing yardage on 24.1 percent of his carries in 2024. The only other running backs worse in the category were Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers and Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb.

“Me trying to make a big play instead of like, just doing the right thing,” Achane told the Palm Beach Post.

“Me watching film, I feel like I left a lot of plays (out there). I feel like I could have did more.”

There were positives to Achane's 2024 season, he was available in all 17 games as opposed to his rookie season when he missed six due to a knee injury.

"Staying healthy was the main goal...basically just staying in the training room, just coming in on off days, making sure even if I’m not hurt, just being there. Seventeen, that’s a long time. And I learned that from my rookie year.”

Achane will look to be the featured back for Miami in 2025, as his former running mate Raheem Mostert departed for the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency.
