As the Miami Dolphins prepare for the 2025 season, head coach Mike McDaniel emphasized the need for Liam Eichenberg to elevate his performance to secure his position as a starter. After a rocky 2025 season where he allowed a team-high 29 quarterback pressures, Eichenberg's future role is uncertain despite being re-signed for one more year. The Dolphins have made significant changes to their offensive line, including signing James Daniels and adding Larry Borom, making Eichenberg's starting spot less secure.

McDaniel acknowledged Eichenberg’s struggles, stating that while he is a valuable teammate, consistency is crucial for him to keep his position. With a career-high PFF grade of 53.1, Eichenberg still ranked as a weak link. The Dolphins' offensive line reshaping puts him in a critical position to compete for his role, especially with Borom's recent acquisition. Eichenberg must adapt and demonstrate that he can contribute effectively to the team's success.
