The Dolphins were already a scary fast team in 2022 when they had Tyreek Hill and Raheem Mostert to an offense that already featured Jaylen Waddle. Then they went out and drafted running back De’Von Achane to add to all that speed.
Now, is there anyone that can keep up with that team? Through the first six games of the season, it sure doesn’t seem like it. According to Stathead, only six teams in NFL history have scored more points after six games than the Dolphins: Peyton Manning’s 2013 Broncos, the 2000 edition of The Greatest Show on Turf, Drew Brees’ 2009 Saints, Tom Brady’s 2007 Patriots and two teams before the merger.
While it’s easy enough to look at points scored, it’s another thing to compare pure speed. Few would deny Miami is the fastest team in the NFL this season, based on its four offensive stars. But how do they compare historically, and perhaps with athletes in other sports?
Sporting News is diving into the Dolphins’ impressive speed numbers to see just how explosive this offense really is.
