Miami Dolphins RB De’Von Achane has added muscle since last season but has also ‘substantial growth’ in the mental part of the game, according to offensive coordinator Frank Smith.
‘You can really see a growth of his understanding of the offense, where he fits in, just overall in the run game, where he’s trying to affect his aiming points, affect the defense, working together with the linemen, how it all fits together and then in the passing game as well. You can tell it’s year two for him. He’s really made substantial growth and I think this camp will really be good these next couple weeks for him to continue to grow upon everything he’s done,’ Smith told reporters on Thursday, Aug. 1.
