De'Von Achane remains underrated despite strong performances for Dolphins
Summary

De'Von Achane is seen as one of the most underrated players in the NFL, according to Miami Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley. Despite being the team's only Pro Bowler last season and leading the NFL in yards per rush at 5.7, Achane is often overlooked due to his humble demeanor and the Dolphins' low-profile status. Achane recorded 1,838 yards from scrimmage last season, yet his ranking in Madden NFL 27 as the 11th-best running back has drawn criticism. Achane's contributions are recognized internally, as the Dolphins are reportedly willing to offer him $16 million annually in a new deal.
