· Yahoo Sports
The Miami Dolphins have a few young players that they can build around going forward under new head coach Jeff Hafley, but a lot of them are either rookies or have already reached their second contract.

As for those entering their second, third or fourth NFL seasons, the group is a lot smaller for the Dolphins. However, there are still a few players there who Miami could build around.
On Sunday, Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox identified linebacker Chop Robinson as Miami's most promising building block entering the 2026 season.
"Edge-rusher Chop Robinson might not draw the attention that Achane does, but the third-year defender is shaping up to be a defensive building block," Knox wrote. "A first-round pick out of Penn State in 2024, Robinson made just four starts in his first two seasons, but Miami is hoping for more.
"With 10 sacks and 32 quarterback pressures already on his resume, Robinson is poised to be the new headliner of Miami's pass rush."
Robinson hasn't exactly lived up to expectations through two seasons, but in 2026, he'll be the team's top option with Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips now with the Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers, respectively.
The Dolphins will need Robinson to make the third-year leap this season, or their defense will be hard to watch, and the former first-round pick will be in line to miss out on the fifth-year option next offseason.
