Dolphins 2024 Top 10 Performers
The Miami Dolphins were shut out on the AFC Pro Bowl roster, the AP All-Pro teams, and most recently the All-AFC team selected by the Professional Football Writers of America.
That’s what can happen for team that misses the playoffs for the first time in three seasons and became somewhat forgotten after a miserable 2-6 start.
But the Dolphins were in playoff contention until the final Sunday of the regular season and they did go 6-3 in their final nine games, so it’s not like they didn’t do anything.
And now it’s time to recognize the players most responsible for getting to eight wins, as we offer our list of the top 10 Dolphins players for the 2024 season.

We clearly have to go with Sieler as the top choice considering he was voted team MVP by the South Florida and got my vote there. From this vantage point, Sieler was the most consistent performer on the team all season and it may not be a coincidence that the two games where the defense failed the offense down the stretch — against the Arizona Cardinals and the Buffalo Bills — were the two games that Sieler missed because of his freaky eye injury.
Yep, we’re going to defensive lineman and defensive lineman for our top two. Campbell didn’t have Sieler’s sack numbers but he was almost as effective in the pass rush in terms of pressures and also was a force against the run.
We don’t usually put kickers that high on this kind of list, but Sanders was nothing short of brilliant this season, particularly in the second half of the season. He also came through in the clutch and from long distance, and only Pittsburgh’s Chris Boswell having an even more remarkable year kept him from earning Pro Bowl and/or All-Pro honors.
Achane became the absolute focal point of the offense in 2024 and delivered pretty consistently in the passing game, with some moments in the run game even if he wasn’t able to come close to his absurd per-carry average of his rookie year.
The Dolphins got their best linebacker play in several years thanks to Brooks, who was a smash in his first season after arriving as a free agent signing. He’s another one who played his best football in the second half of the season.
The Dolphins finally got major production out of the tight end position thanks to Smith, who became a force for the passing game after a slow start. In the end, he gave the Dolphins exactly what everyone hoped he would.
This might not have been a season quite up to the very high standards Ramsey has set in terms of coverage, but it’s his overall contributions for the defense that must be evaluated here. Ramsey made an impact in run support and with his blitzing.
Tagovailoa produced a passer rating over 100 for a third consecutive season and led the NFL in completion percentage, though the offense became a dink-and-dunk attack with very shots down the field. It still worked for most of the second half of the season because of how efficient Tagovailoa, particularly on third down, before a late-season slide and then the hip injury. Tua missing six games couldn’t get him much higher than this on the list.
It was another season battling injuries for Armstead, but he wound up with his highest game total in his three seasons in Miami. And, as always, he usually was pretty good when he was in the lineup.
The last spot was a tough choice, but we’re going here with Kohou, who also easily would get the nod for most improved player. After a very unimpressive 2023 season, Kohou was very good this season either in the slot or outside when Kendall Fuller was out with injuries. His passer rating when targeted was an impressive 79.3, per Pro Football Reference, after it was an unsightly 131.0 last season. Let’s also remember that Kohou, with help from Campbell, helped clinch the Week 16 victory against the 49ers with an interception.

Jeff Hafley suggests Miami Dolphins entertain Malik Willis Tush Push
Jeff Hafley: Miami Dolphins players, coaches must lead in 2026 season
Miami Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley speaks to the media on May 27, 2026, during team OTAs.
MIAMI GARDENS ― The Miami Dolphins held a third and final mandatory minicamp practice on Thursday, June 4, at the Baptist Health Training Complex.
The Dolphins plan a practice open to media next Tuesday, June 9 and soon after the entire NFL will shut down for summer break for about five to six weeks.
Get ready to enjoy the World Cup.
Here is some of what we saw at mandatory minicamp practice three:
*Coach Jeff Hafley said offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer and wide receiver Caleb Douglas escaped serious injury at a recent practice.
*Hafley said he believes in the value of immediate correction on the field. Some coaches want to just keep moving practice along and wait for film review.
*Hafley suggested Dolphins might need to look into value of Tush Push and Malik Willis.
^Malik Willis completed passes underneath to Greg Dulcich and Malik Washington, a consistent theme.
*Ben Sims could not complete the catch on a pass from Quinn Ewers into the end zone.
*Cam Miller overthrew a potential touchdown near a front pylon of an end zone.
*Malik Willis ripped the throw on a touchdown over the middle to Theo Wease.
*Kevin Coleman looked slippery after a short completion from Quinn Ewers.
*Terrace Marshall skied high to catch a touchdown from Quinn Ewers.
*Miami focused heavily on red zone work and the offense performed quite well.
*Safety Louis Moore had a pass breakup in the red zone.

Patients left scrambling for care after Miami-Dade woman accused of operating an unlicensed surgery recovery center
A 38-year-old woman is behind bars after authorities say she operated an unlicensed plastic surgery recovery center out of an Airbnb in southwest Miami-Dade County, leaving several patients scrambling for care after her arrest.
Kerri Smith faces charges of operating an assisted living facility without a license and an organized scheme to defraud. Investigators say she collected more than $200,000 from clients seeking post-surgical care. Her arrest disrupted the recoveries of at least six women who were staying at the home after undergoing cosmetic procedures.
“I’m really disappointed. Extremely disappointed,” said Janell Dunn, one of the patients who traveled from Orlando for surgery and aftercare.
Dunn said that during her five-day stay, she saw about 12 women cycle through the property. She described chaos unfolding when deputies arrived to arrest a caretaker. “We were all looking at each other like, ‘What are we going to do now?’” Dunn said.
Authorities allege the operation was unsafe and poorly managed. In court, a prosecutor cited complaints of overcrowding, bug infestations, rodents, and improper handling of medical waste.
Despite those allegations, Smith told a judge she had been working to bring the business into compliance, stating, “I got educated. Hired a consultant.”
Patients, however, say they were left with little warning to find new accommodations after paying thousands of dollars for post-operative care. Dunn said she struggled physically in the aftermath, forced to move and lift items despite being in the early stages of recovery.
“I’ve been pushing, pulling, tugging, doing things I shouldn’t be doing at this point,” she said.
Some women booked hotel rooms after being forced out. Tonita Caban, a woman with experience caring for post-surgery patients, took in Dunn. Caban said she couldn’t turn Dunn away after hearing her story through a social media group for post-op patients. She calls Dunn an “angel”.
“And you’re here with me, and you’ll always be my little sister,” Caban told her. “Someone you can count on.” Caban said she is not charging Dunn for her stay, acknowledging the money she already lost to Smith’s now-shuttered operation.
Smith remained in custody at TGK on Wednesday evening.

This new Italian restaurant in Brickell only has 10 items on the menu
In a city where menus can read like novellas and cocktails arrive with enough smoke, sparks and theatrics to qualify as performance art, a new Brickell restaurant is taking the opposite approach and betting that fewer choices might actually make dinner better.
At Allegro Ma Non Troppo, a new 38-seat Italian restaurant that recently opened at 1000 South Miami Avenue, you’ll find exactly 10 food items on the menu. Not 10 sections. Not 10 pages. Just 10 dishes, period.
The concept comes from a group of longtime restaurant industry colleagues who wanted to create something that feels more like an Italian grandmother’s dining room than a typical Miami restaurant. There are no reservations, no phone number and no sprawling menu. Instead, guests simply show up, grab a table and eat what the kitchen does best.
The menu follows a simple formula: four appetizers, three mains, two sides and one dessert. Among the highlights are a Caesar salad made using Caesar Cardini’s original 1924 dressing recipe from Tijuana, a Wagyu bolognese “lazy lasagna” layered with Italian sausage and slow-cooked ragù, a free-range chicken cotoletta alla Milanese and a whole branzino prepared with little more than olive oil, lemon and rosemary. And then, of course, there’s the shareable dessert course. Every main course is cooked in the restaurant’s single oven and there are no fryers anywhere in sight.
What makes Allegro Ma Non Troppo particularly personal is the story behind it. The restaurant serves as a tribute to co-owner Carlos Galan’s mother, who died earlier this year at age 102. Many of her belongings now decorate the space, helping the restaurant feel more like a family home than a polished dining concept.
“The goal was never to create a perfect luxury restaurant,” Galan said. “It was to create a place where people feel genuinely welcomed, nourished, and emotionally connected the moment they walk through the door.”
Co-owner Vanessa Velez says the team hopes diners remember more than just what was on their plates. “We always want to touch the customer emotionally, because when you touch someone’s emotions, you leave a mark,” she said. “Our goal is to leave a lasting imprint on our guests’ hearts.”
Whether the 10-item menu becomes Miami’s next dining obsession remains to be seen. But in a neighborhood packed with restaurants competing to do more, Allegro Ma Non Troppo is making a compelling case for doing less.
