Miami Dolphins' Chop Robinson, De'Von Achane: 2025 team chemistry better; no missed days
Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel wants his players to be focused, on-time, self-disciplined and present, physically and emotionally, in 2025. It appears they've gotten the message. "I just say as a team, we're putting that energy and we're here every day, we be putting in that energy and we're here like every day, we're not missing days," running back De'Von Achane said. "Like you can see, like, this year's team is way different than last year's team." Advertisement After last season, some Dolphins players said there was some tardiness and some lack of total presence and focus at times. McDaniel believes an 8-9 finish last year helps send a clear message. The Dolphins must be more locked in, right away, in 2025. "I mean just everybody being here, you get to see the team chemistry like everybody just wants the same goal, everybody wants to be great," Dolphins edge rusher Chop Robinson said. "Everybody wants to win. So the only way to do that is doing it all together. So the chemistry is definitely better than it was last year." Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Chemistry better in 2025 The Dolphins are sorting out a potential trade for veteran cornerback Jalen Ramsey. But it is clear that overall, Miami has strong voluntary attendance. Advertisement Reporters even saw some veteran players watching a recent rookie minicamp. "All the people being here, we're just building that chemistry early and not waiting until like, you know, when the season started, then trying to build like during the season," Achane said.

Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports With key veteran leaders like Terron Armstead and Calais Campbell gone, other players need to step up into that role. Achane, for example, is somehow already the longest-tenured Dolphins running back. Achane is only 23 years old. He's listening intently to McDaniel's directive. Dolphins' De'Von Achane: This is going to be different "Yeah, most definitely about being present," Achane said. "Like you said, just how I mentioned everybody's here. Like, you know, we know it's voluntary, but like if you want to win, you want to win games, this is where it starts at. I feel we're doing a good job as that. As long as we keep that going we're going to see this season is going to be different than last year."

What time will the Steelers make their pick in the 1st round of the 2025 NFL draft?
What time will the Steelers make their pick in the 1st round of the 2025 NFL draft? After what has been a long and confusing offseason, the 2025 NFL draft is finally here. The Pittsburgh Steelers had a very quiet offseason aside from the trade to land wide receiver DK Metcalf. This has us anticipating the upcoming draft even more. Especially that all-important first-round pick. Based on last season, if the Steelers stay put at pick No. 21, you can expect the Steelers to make their pick somewhere in the neighborhood of 10:36 PM ET. This is when the Miami Dolphins made their choice of Chop Robinson in 2024. If the Steelers do stay put, their top target could be former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. In recent years, the Steelers haven't hesitated to trade up for a player they want, such as offensive tackle Broderick Jones in 2023. However, it is rarer for the Steelers to trade back, even if it meant they could recoup the second-round pick they gave up in the Metcalf trade.
