The Miami Dolphins selected Oklahoma State RB Ollie Gordon II with the 179th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Gordon appeared on track to be one of the top RBs in this class in 2023. He won the Doak Walker Award as the best RB in the nation after rushing for 1,732 yards on 285 carries and 21 TDs. He also ranked third on the team in receptions. Then 2024 happened. Oklahoma State’s talent on offense fell off. Gordon tried to carry the team but could only muster 880 yards on 190 carries. He looked slower and less decisive than he did in 2023. Now, Gordon’s ‘23 production and an excellent Senior Bowl week breathe some life into his fantasy potential. But he’ll need to win more with his size (6’1, 226) than his athletic ability. He tested as an average athlete at the NFL Combine, hurt by a 4.61 forty time and a 1.60 ten-yard split.
Gordon II is a 226-pound RB, bigger than any RB on the Dolphins roster currently.
With De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright there, Gordon could find a role on shorter yardage, an area the team struggled with last season.
Despite being a sixth-round pick, Gordon has a path to make the roster and maybe get some snaps
Gordon's 2023 season was one of the best in college football over the last five years.
Now he enters a situation where the Dolphins need a physical RB
Gordon should be a fourth round rookie pick.
