In Miami, speed isn’t just a stat — it’s a standard.

Clay1By No Comments2 Mins Read

From the sun-soaked fields of the Orange Bowl to the electric turf of Hard Rock Stadium, the Dolphins have always had a flair for the fast. It’s part of the franchise’s DNA — a legacy built on acceleration, agility, and athletes who don’t just run… they outrun.

Long before De’Von Achane was torching defenses at over 21 MPH, there was another Dolphin who turned speed into superstardom: Mercury Morris. Aptly nicknamed after the swift Roman god, Morris didn’t just play football — he exploded onto the field, leaving defenders and history books in his wake.Two eras. One standard. One legacy of speed.—Speed Legacy: Rookie Year Breakdown🐬 Mercury Morris (1972 – Year 4, Breakout Season)190 carries1,000 rushing yards5.3 yards per carry12 touchdowns14 kick returns | 334 return yardsOn the only perfect team in NFL history, Morris shared the backfield with legends and still found a way to shine — slicing through defenses with balance and burst. His 1972 campaign helped define what it meant to be a big-play threat in a ground-and-pound era. He wasn’t just a running back — he was a lightning bolt.—🚀 De’Von Achane (2023 – Rookie Year)103 carries800 rushing yards7.8 yards per carry (NFL-leading)8 rushing TDs27 receptions | 197 yards | 3 receiving TDsAchane didn’t just arrive — he erupted. With track-star speed and video-game acceleration, he turned routine handoffs into highlight-reel runs. His 7.8 YPC wasn’t just the best among rookies — it was one of the best in league history. Whether catching screens or splitting safeties, Achane is redefining what speed looks like in the modern NFL.—From Mercury to Mach SpeedMercury Morris walked so De’Von Achane could fly — and fly he has, blurring past defenders like a comet across the South Florida sky. What Morris did in a shared backfield during a championship season laid the foundation. What Achane is doing now? He’s taking that legacy and strapping rocket fuel to it.Speed isn’t new to Miami. But Achane? He’s setting a new pace.History made. Legacy accelerated. The Dolphins’ tradition of speed? Alive and thriving — at warp drive.—
