The\u00a0Miami Dolphins’ offensive line has been an issue for much of the past decade. Whether it’s because of Chris Grier or other decision makers, the Dolphins have been brutal on that front for much of that span.<\/p>\n

While the unit performed better during the 2024 season, there were many ways for it to improve. The Dolphins lost Terron Armstead and others on the line, making it something they had to address during the draft and free agency.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters, it was revealed that not only did the Dolphins want to get younger on the offensive line, but the team focused heavily on getting physical in that area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to get better at offensive line,\u201d Grier said, per the\u00a0Miami Herald<\/a>. \u201cWe knew we had some older players with \u2018T. Stead\u2019 and Kendall Lamm, Isaiah Wynn moving on. So we talked about adding youth, and it just so happens that these guys are bigger players that are physical, tough kids that love football. And we haven\u2019t shied away from looking for those types of players.\u201d<\/p>\n
