Dolphins Pro Bowl Candidates Announced Amid Season Challenges

Voting for the 2026 NFL Pro Bowl is underway, and the Miami Dolphins have notable candidates vying for recognition amid a challenging season. According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, three Dolphins players rank among the top vote-getters at their positions as of December 1st, 2025.

DeVon Achane, the running back, is currently ranked sixth among all running backs and third in the AFC. Achane has surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career, showcasing his dual-threat capability as both a runner and a receiver.

His explosive playmaking has been essential for Miami's offense, especially with Tyreek Hill sidelined due to injury. As fans rally behind Achane, the hashtag #RunAchaneRun has emerged, emphasizing his importance to the team’s success.

Alec Ingold, the fullback, is positioned fourth among fullbacks and second in the AFC. Ingold has demonstrated his value as a leader and a versatile player, contributing both in pass protection and in short-yardage situations.

Despite facing challenges early in the season, he has only allowed one pressure all season, though his run-blocking grade has dropped to a career-low 35.8. Ingold's role as a fullback is critical in an evolving NFL landscape, making his Pro Bowl candidacy even more significant.

Lastly, Jordyn Brooks, the linebacker, stands out as he ranks second among inside linebackers and first in the AFC. Acquired as a free agent for three years and $26.25 million, Brooks has made an immediate impact, leading the Dolphins with 143 tackles, including 86 solo tackles, and contributing 11 tackles for loss and three sacks.

With an impressive pace to break his career-high in tackles, Brooks is pivotal to Miami's defensive turnaround this season. The Dolphins’ fans are urged to cast their votes to ensure these deserving players receive their Pro Bowl honors, which could also lead to potential contract extensions for standout performers like Brooks.

With the season's trials, individual achievements like these provide a silver lining for the Miami Dolphins organization. As the voting continues, the Dolphins' Pro Bowl hopefuls exemplify the resilience and talent necessary to navigate a challenging season.
