Ollie Gordon II, drafted by the Miami Dolphins, plans to bolster the team's running game, which struggled with physicality in 2024. At 6-2 and 225 pounds, Gordon emphasizes a bruising running style, aiming to dominate in one-on-one situations. His arrival, along with veteran Alexander Mattison and fellow rookie Jaylen Wright, addresses the team's short-yardage deficiencies. Gordon's eagerness to learn from experienced teammates is pivotal as he adapts to coach Mike McDaniel's wide-zone scheme, following a tremendous college season where he led with 1,732 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns.
I'm a bruiser. I'm going to run through you. I'm going to make you want to not tackle me.
Honestly, my mindset is me versus you, and I'm banking on me every time.
Really just taking some pointers from them. All of them, they all play different and just to learn from them.
