Miami dolphins have players in the training camp who are already starting to turn the heads. One of these players is the current left tackle and the next second year player Patrick Paul, who relies on a good recruit season.

Recent stories around the camp have revealed that, although Paul is a standing and very friendly guy, he also did everything in his power to shake up the defense.
How is he? By channeling the buffoonery of Star UFC Fighter Conor McGregor. Paul spoke to journalists on Wednesday, and he revealed his love for the legend of the MMA, while revealing that he was using buffoonemeries to enter the “heads” of the defense facing him.
“One of my favorite athletes who grew was Conor McGregor. I liked his approach. He beat people before he even addressed them.
Paul’s statements had already been revealed by some of the team’s defensive stars, such as Jaelan Phillips. Phillips also said that Paul was “boring to go against”.

“He is boring like a hell to go against it, I will tell you that a lot, because he is like a worder. During training, I hate him, but after I can do, it is admiring him,” said Phillips.
Although Phillips said Paul hit everyone on the defense, he also said that the offensive line player should be admired for his work ethics and athletics. Dolphins need bruises, so having someone who seems to have taken a big step in the game, like Paul, should go very far.

More news: Tyrek Hill of Dolphins breaks silence on the brutal comments of Tua Tagovailoa
One of the blatant problems that the Dolphins had for several seasons is the poor offensive line game, and how it led the quarterrier Tua Tagovailoa to have successes and eliminate the game. Tagovailoa admitted his fault in situations where he puts himself in danger, but the offensive line has a lot to do with that too.
With Tagovailoa on the ground, dolphins have one of the fastest and most dangerous offenses in the league. Without him, everything seems dull.
Dolphins must protect Tagovailoa in any way possible this season, and the team has already invested in the offensive line by bringing Paul in 2024, and the offensive line Recruit Jonah Savaiaea, and more. Hopefully the line merges in a way that can protect Tagovailoa and also help the team’s racing game.
Since Paul is already able to shake up his own teammates, he could also be able to easily shake the opposing defenses when the season takes place. This could be a good tactic for its ability to close defensive line players and pass rushers.
