Achane positioned as major offensive cog with elite touch potential despite coach's 40-touch joke.

Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley clarified that his 40-45 touches per game comment was a joke, but emphasized Achane will be a major cog in the Miami offense. In the preseason opener against Washington, Achane had seven carries in a single drive for 39 yards (5.6 yards per carry) and a touchdown; Hafley praised the performance and noted that if Achane averages 5-7 touches per drive, his season touch total could accumulate rapidly. Historical context: Christian McCaffrey averaged 24.29 touches per game in 2025 (413 total); an average of 27 touches per game would break Larry Johnson's single-season record of 457 from 2006.
