The Miami Dolphins failed to make the playoffs in 2021, but they got some great performances from some of their younger players.
Miami’s got at least 16 games from four of their rookies, and three of them performed at or above the expectations set for them in their first season.
First-rounders Jaylen Waddle and Jaelan Phillips both set team records for rookies, and the former set a league record for rookies. Safety Jevon Holland looked like a seasoned veteran in the secondary, doing everything he could to make an impact on just about every play. And left tackle Liam Eichenberg started 16 games spread between three positions, but he wasn’t the player the Dolphins hoped they were getting.
