The 2015 NFL season is just weeks away, and there’s plenty of intrigue to spare surrounding the Miami Dolphins as the days tick down. Here are three things to watch for in training camp:
3) Can Lamar Miller become THE guy in the backfield?
Miller rushed for over five yards per carry in 2014, posting his first 1,000-yard rushing season (1,099) while crossing the goal line eight times on the ground. Add in his work as a developing safety valve for Ryan Tannehill in the passing game (38 receptions, 275 yards, 1 TD in 2014), and Miami has a fantasy football breakout candidate in its midst.
2) What impact will Ndamukong Suh have?
Miami signed Suh to the largest contract given to a defensive player in league history, hoping to form one of the best defenses in the NFL. The Dolphins ranked in the top 13 in the league in both yards and points allowed last season, and ranked 10th against the run. Suh figures to give Miami a major boost in all of those categories - but there will be a lot of pressure on him to live up to his contract.
1) Ryan Tannehill's progression
Most NFL quarterbacks show their true colors in the fourth season of their rookie contracts, with a few years playing at NFL speed under their belts. There were times in 2014 where Ryan Tannehill looked like an emerging star, and a plummeting interception rate (down from 2.9% to 2.0% from 2013 to 2014) portends even bigger things for the talented signal caller in 2015.
