The Evolution of Dolphins Tackle Patrick Paul (And What's Next)
xCruzo Brief
Ahead of the Miami Dolphins’ season opener Sunday, the team named offensive tackle Patrick Paul one of six captains. Drafted in the second round in 2024, the third-year lineman has become a key part of a improving offensive line and was named captain for the first time. Paul credited Terron Armstead, a five-time Pro Bowl selection and captain during all three of his Miami seasons, for shaping his early development, noting he only started three games as a rookie after Armstead’s presence. With more than 1,300 offensive snaps, Paul said his focus for refinement is run-game technique and better hand use. He’ll face Raiders edge Maxx Crosby in Week 1, while also taking on leadership duties with fellow 2024 arrival Aaron Brewer.
