In a recent interview with ESPN\u2019s Kevin Clark<\/a>, when asked which player on the 2026 Dolphins he was most excited to see take the next step and improve this season, Jon-Eric Sullivan named the 6\u20194 TE from Glendale, California.<\/p>\n\u201cDulcich. I thought he had a really good backend of the season. I want to see if he can build on that. That\u2019s why we brought him back.\u201c<\/p>\n
Now, I\u2019m a big fan of Dulcich.<\/p>\n
The truth is, I drafted him in a devy league before the 2022 draft. Part of that was because I liked what I saw on tape, and the other \u2014 quite honestly \u2014 was because of his beautiful mane of hair.<\/p>\n
But I never expected the new GM of the Dolphins to throw his name out there when asked which player he was most excited about. After all, it was Mike McDaniel who went on the Dan LeBatard show and praised Jaylen Waddle shortly after he was hired.<\/p>\n

Waddle makes sense\u2026 Dulcich \u2014 whom I again love \u2014 not so much.<\/p>\n
Or does it!<\/p>\n
The Green Bay Way<\/p>\n
The Green Bay Packers aren\u2019t known for their godly wide receivers, and one look at their offense over the last few seasons and you\u2019ll see just how critical their young tight ends were.<\/p>\n
Tucker Kraft played 86% of the Packers\u2019 snaps last season, while missing half the season. Even still, he finished fourth on the team in receptions with 32. The previous year, he started all 17 games for the Packers and finished second with 50 receptions on a godly 70 targets.<\/p>\n
Now, I\u2019m not saying Dulcich can compare to Kraft, but at the same time, why not?<\/p>\n

Both were at the top of their respective draft classes, despite other key names going before them.<\/p>\n
And yet, Kraft leapfrogged Luke Musgrave on the depth chart, a player who was drafted higher than him back in the 2023 NFL Draft. They\u2019re not necessarily comparable players, but to watch Kraft become one of the more dynamic pass-catchers in the NFL over the last few years has been reassuring.<\/p>\n
As it was, when we heard Sully shout Dulcich\u2019s name from the rooftops.<\/p>\n
There may not be a Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle on the roster, but the Dolphins do have a bunch of young players \u2014 who at one time or another \u2014 were highly thought of throughout the draft community. Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, Ronnie Harrison, Josh Uche\u2026the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n

Greg Dulcich is also one of those guys \u2014 and if you ask me (and Sully), I think his best football is still ahead.<\/p>\n
What are your thoughts on Jon-Eric Sullivan mentioning Greg Dulcich as the player he\u2019s most excited to see take the next step in 2026? Do you think he\u2019ll make an even greater impact in this offense? Or was the backend of the 2025 season just a mirage?
