Veteran running back Duke Johnson announced his decision to retire from the NFL on Sunday. Johnson spent eight years in the NFL and played for the Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, Miami Dolphins, and Buffalo Bills. The 30-year-old was a former third-round pick in the 2015 NFL draft after becoming the all-time leading rusher for the Miami Hurricanes. Johnson operated as a dual-threat running back for the Browns and Texans as part of a committee approach, recording at least 400 receiving yards in each of his first five seasons in the league.

Expert Commentary
Robinson is a raw pass rusher, but he’s found himself in a good spot playing for new Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. Robinson has all the tools in the world to become an elite pass rusher in the NFL if he can get a few signature moves down. The Dolphins also have some nice insurance in case Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips have a slow return from injury.

The Dolphins needed to continue bolstering their offensive line and they got a potential decade-long starter in Paul. Paul is a big-bodied freak athlete who has real potential to be a good player in the NFL. Love this.
