Overview
- Rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas has been a consistent standout in Miami’s training camp and has frequently been Malik Willis’ primary target in team drills and the joint practice with Washington.
- The Dolphins placed Douglas among their top three receivers on the team’s initial depth chart, a move coaches said reflected his steady work in practice.
- Coach Jeff Hafley called the depth chart a starting point and urged perspective, saying listings can change as preseason practices, game reps and evaluations continue.
- Douglas, a third-round pick out of Texas Tech (No. 75 overall), made multiple catches in the joint practice but acknowledged at least one camp drop and said he is still mastering the playbook and route landmarks.
- With veterans Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle no longer on the roster, Douglas’ early rise highlights how Miami’s reworked receiver corps gives young players a clear chance to win significant roles before preseason games and final cuts.
