One of the Miami Dolphins’ breakout players of 2025 outlines why this year’s team is willing to put in extra work on their own
Time on task will be essential for the 2026 Miami Dolphins. They’re getting some extra on their own already.
The Miami Dolphins are an organization with a whole lot of “new” in the fray.
General manager. Head coach. Quarterback. Nearly the entire wide receiver room. You name it. With all that new, getting reps and sweat equity is essential to getting everyone onboarded and on the same page for the season ahead. And, by all of the accounts coming out of South Florida, a bunch of Miami’s players are taking it upon themselves to get extra work in outside of mandated hours for offseason workouts. Tight end Greg Dulcich, a returning player from last season, recently shared why on the ‘DriveTime’ podcast with Travis Wingfield.

“Yeah, I think a lot of us are kind of on the same page. And I can start with our tight end room. We’re all…wanting to get out there, do as much extra as we can because, you know, we’re a young room and I think we’re a young team. So everyone kind of understands that with that being the case, we got to do the extra things and kind of learn as much as we can. Really just kind of take everything in and put in as much work as possible to kind of close that gap.”

These are the kinds of developments that we love to see. Yes, the Dolphins are going to need to continue to stack their roster with more talent in the weeks, months, and years ahead. But a collection of individuals committed to going above and beyond to take an extra step and grow together feels dramatically different than the past few iterations of the Miami Dolphins. Who remembers when it was a big deal that Dolphins players stayed after practice last year in training camp and did extra conditioning?
It’s the kind of thing that is needed but was presumably too little, too late for the last iteration of the organization. With Organized Team Activities (OTAs) officially starting today, this team will get more time on the grass together. But thanks to their own efforts, their rep count sounds to already be ahead of the curve.
