Alexander Mattison's arrival with the Miami Dolphins brings a significant shift to their rushing dynamics. Emphasizing a 'downhill, fast, and physical' style, he addresses a critical gap in Miami's run game that struggled with short-yardage conversions last season. With a remarkable conversion rate on crucial runs, Mattison stands out as the heaviest running back at 220 pounds, a stark contrast to the speedster De'Von Achane. His ability to break tackles coupled with his pass-catching skills adds a multi-dimensional threat to the backfield, making him a pivotal asset in coach Mike McDaniel's offense.

Mattison's career boasts a solid performance, highlighted by his ability to convert on key plays and catch passes, which could alleviate the workload on Achane. As the Dolphins explore further options in the upcoming draft or consider bringing back Jeff Wilson Jr., Mattison's physical approach will be essential in reshaping their offensive strategy.
