On today's episode of The Daily Hunt:
I break down Mark Walton's first start with the Dolphins and what we can expect from the former Miami Hurricane standout moving forward.
Will he be the Dolphins RB1 with Kenyan Drake on the trade block?
What are the chances he will be the starting RB in 2020 and beyond?
When asked last week how it felt to be the Dolphins' starting RB vs Washington, Walton had this to say:
“I’m just thankful and blessed. I’m grateful for the opportunity. I’m just trying to go out and not make this bigger than what it is. I’m just trying to go out there and do my job as I’ve been doing throughout the whole week, so I can translate it to games. I’m just doing my job.”
Walton, once again was Miami's starting RB vs Buffalo and continued to show the vision, explosiveness and ability to make plays to warrant his newfound role. Last week he led the team with 75 total yards, behind the Dolphins' makeshift offensive line.
This week Walton was facing an uphill battle, against a Bills' defense that was top-10 in all statistical categories. Nevertheless, Mark Walton finished the day with 14 carries for 66 yards and one reception.
Keep an eye on Walton as the Dolphins try to trade Drake by the October 29th deadline. There's a chance he could be in line for an even bigger workload.
