2026 Outlook
Dolphins LT and anchor of Miami's new physical offensive line philosophy under HC Jeff Hafley and GM Jon-Eric Sullivan. Paul is mentoring rookie first-round pick Kadyn Proctor (12nd overall) at left guard, forming the AFC's heaviest left side at 678 combined pounds. The pair represent Hafley's commitment to dominating the trenches and creating run lanes for RBs De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright. Paul's stability and veteran presence are critical to the development of young QB Malik Willis, who needs time to progress (per Dolphins' Paul, Proctor growing as AFC's biggest left-side 'shield').
Paul brings experience against aggressive defenses. He played for the Dolphins under Vikings DC Brian Flores in 2019, giving him familiarity with Flores' high-blitz schemes. That experience will be valuable as the Dolphins face Minnesota's historically aggressive defense in Week 4, which leads the NFL with a 71.1% blitz rate and 46.7% pressure rate. (per Dolphins rookie OL Kadyn Proctor expects heat from Vikings DC Brian Flores).
