Running back Myles Gaskin played in just four games during Mike McDaniel’s first season as head coach but the fifth-year running back seems determined to earn a larger role.
The former seventh-round pick gashed the Atlanta Falcons for more than eight yards per carry on Friday night. Rookie De’Von Achane led the Miami Dolphins with ten carries, but Gaskin ran for a team-high 57 rushing yards on seven carries.
He caught two passes for 20 yards while Achane added another 41 receiving yards on four receptions. The Dolphins are carving out a role for the rookie who touched the ball a team-high 14 times.
