De’Von Achane Could Rise to First‑Time All‑Pro in 2026

Strong Individual Play Amid Team Rebuild

Even as the Maimi Dolphins navigate a rebuilding phase, a few players are shining on their own. In 2025, Aaron Brewer and Jordyn Brooks each earned their first All‑Pro honors, a rare bright spot for a franchise that fired its head coach and general manager that season. The new leadership of Jeff Hafley and Jon‑Eric Sullivan is still shaping the roster, and Miami is not projected to contend in 2026. Still, individual standouts can excel even when the overall team is in transition.

Why Achane Is on PFF’s Radar

Pro Football Focus analyst Bradley Locker named De’Von Achane among ten players who could become first‑time All‑Pros in the upcoming campaign. Achane posted a career‑best rush of 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns on a league‑leading 5.7 yards per attempt last year. He also added 67 receptions for 488 yards and four more scores, earning his first Pro Bowl selection.

New Offensive Line Boosts Chances

The Dolphins added first‑round guard Kadyn Proctor, who shifted to left guard, while Jonah Savaiinaea returned to his natural kicking spot. This replenishment should give Achane more protection, potentially unlocking even higher yards and scoring figures. With Achane slated as the offense’s focal point, the improved line could be the catalyst for a breakout All‑Pro season.
