Ajayi is penciled in as the 2016 starter and looks to expand his role after a promising start to his pro career. In 2015, Ajayi missed the first part of the season after suffering a chest injury during the pre-season. After his return, he took a back seat to Lamar Miller.
By the end of the season, Ajayi was running with conviction and looked to be heading back to his college playing level. A level that would have seen him drafted in the first two rounds had the knee injury not ended his season.
The Dolphins believe that Ajayi can make major gains this season.
