The Splash Zone 3/10/22: How Will The Dolphins Approach The Running Back Position?

While Mike McDaniel was with the San Francisco 49ers, the team had great success with the run game. The 49ers did this with running backs that were undrafted or players that were late round picks. Chris Grier has tried that approach and it just hasn’t worked out whether that be because of the running backs or the offensive line. Do the Miami Dolphins change their approach and draft one of the top backs in this years draft? Or perhaps add a proven veteran? Maybe someone like Leonard Fournette?

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
