The Miami Dolphins have a ton of weapons on offense.
That is no secret.
They have a Pro Bowl quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa.
They have speedy running backs in Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane.
Additionally, their stud receivers in Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and recent signee Odell Beckham Jr. make up arguably the best wide receiver group in the league.
While making a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” former NFL GM Michael Lombardi shared his thoughts on which Miami player is the straw that stirs the drink.
“They gotta keep (Tyreek) Hill really healthy. He’s the engine that drives the machine,” Lombardi stated.
“The Dolphins have to keep Tyreek Hill healthy and he’s the engine that drives the machine..
It’s a seven on seven game for them and it’ll be interesting to see how this Tua contract works out” ~ @mlombardiNFL #PMSLive https://t.co/qJSGue2LnF pic.twitter.com/BNQxZWAfFy

It is hard to argue that claim.
Hill is one of the most electrifying players in NFL history.
The six-time All-Pro has 4.2 speed that can set the field on fire.
Whether it’s taking jet sweeps 75 yards to the house or sprinting past defensive backs on deep routes, Hill is a true game-changer.
The Super Bowl winner with the Kansas City Chiefs led the league in receiving yards and touchdowns just before turning 30 years of age.
In six of the last seven seasons, he has caught 75+ passes for 1,100 yards and 7+ touchdowns.
Without him, Miami doesn’t make the playoffs each of the last two years.
Without him, Tagovailoa doesn’t turn into a Pro-Bowler.
Without him, Waddle doesn’t become a star and Beckham probably signs somewhere else.
He is the ultimate offensive weapon that can create havoc for any defense.
If healthy, the Dolphins should be a real Super Bowl threat in 2024.
