Use in the passing game -- both as a target and pass blocker -- drives Gaskin's productivity results. Next Gen Stats show he averaged 2.0 receiving yards per route run last season (third-most among RBs who ran at least 150 routes). It sounds weird to say, but there are only about 15 running backs who add consistent (and high) production in the passing game as a target and as a blocker, and Gaskin rates eighth in passing production at the position. Furthermore, his +35 rush yards over expected were the most on the Dolphins in 2020.

Another player who shows up strongly in my model is OLB Andrew Van Ginkel, who amassed 5.5 sacks in fewer than 500 snaps. In the first 3 yards traveled, Van Ginkel had a top-seven speed on the pass rush. And his per-snap win share on rushing downs ranked eighth-highest at his position.

Everyone is always enamored with 1st rounders......BUT, It is players like these guys that make your football team a winner.

i have a huge soft spot for both those guys, especially the Ginkeler.
 
All of these recent threads about Gaskin debating his worth or value have been awesome. But once you put the stats up against those who may dislike the player and/or his production, it shows how productive he was last year. He's truly underrated. It also tends to show where the team needs to improve, that being the offensive line. If Miami's offensive line improves and stabilizes, you can argue, so will the running game and RB's.
 
Bobby McCain! He is so underappreciated they let his ass go.
 
I felt like when Gaskins was healthy we were gonna win. He ran incredibly hard for his size. He pass protected adequately and he was good as a receiver.

Van Ginkel had an elite 3 cone which is an underrated way to gauge pass rush ability. He was a great gamble that has been paying off in spades.

Nobody's talking about our Texas safety Brandon Jones(?)...He could make a jump in his second year, but I thought he was utilized well and played well last year.

Brandon Jones is one the of guys I'm excited to watch this season. I think he will take a huge step forward in year 2. The kid is high energy on every down. Hits hard and seems to be always around the ball. IMO, he will start eating into Rowe's snaps and possibly replace him after this season.

Wouldn't be surprised if Brandon Jones and Jevon Holland were your safety starters day one.

Notwithstanding a healthy Malik Hooker signing.
