MIAMI GARDENS - There are times Miami Dolphins rookie running back Jaylen Wright makes a jump-cut or bursts through the middle of the line and you wonder, "How was he available in the fourth round?"

"We're really, really happy to get Jalen," Dolphins running backs coach Eric Studesville said Thursday before a training camp practice.

Wright is really fast. But he's also part of a deep stable of running backs that includes proven veteran Raheem Mostert and rising star De'Von Achane.

"He wants to be really good," Studesville said of Wright. "He's highly motivated to be really good and he's working and positioning himself to do all those things."

Miami coach Mike McDaniel showed he's willing to incorporate a rookie into the running back mix last season. Achane showed he was ready and was rewarded with extensive playing time.

How is Wright doing in the all-important category of "knowing what to do?"

"Really well. I mean, it's a process," Studesville said. "It's not easy, you know, for these guys to just jump in here and learn this offense and all the things. We move people around motions and where we put them and route concepts and all these things that go in there.

"What he's done is he works at this and that's what gives him the best chance possible. He comes in, he works, he's asking questions, we're spending extra time doing things, we're doing everything we can to get him as caught up because at the end of the day you want to give him the best chance to compete for whatever his role on this team could potentially be."

The other day, Wright and cornerback Kader Kohou had a bit of a kerfuffle at the end of a rushing attempt.

Wright, like Achane, is blazing fast, but also not afraid to mix it up.

"There's nothing right now that would make me hesitant to say that I'm concerned about him being physical when the game starts," Studesville said.

Meanwhile, second-round left tackle Patrick Paul is a work-in-progress.

And that's OK.

In an ideal world, the 6-foot-7, 332-pound Paul redshirts this season.

"There's times where you're put in situations where, and you don't have to have it all figured out, right?" Dolphins offensive line coach Butch Barry said Thursday. "You don't have to have it all figured out to be a point where it's like, yes, you have enough awareness, maybe it's the fine-tuned details and fundamentals. When it's the fine-tuning details and fundamentals, that's when you're out of place."

Paul is working on learning a new scheme. And he's working on refining technique.

"The progress he's made from phase two in the offseason to now is in a really good place," Barry said. "He keeps tracking this way and I love where it's going."

Paul has to learn where his targets are and how best to get there.

Miami's offensive orchestration is very precise.

"Number one, understanding fundamentally how we want to approach a pass block," Barry said. "Everything that entails with your set and initiation of contact. Second, run game. How do I initiate that? What's my approach? How do I attack defenders? What's my leverage on every play relative to the concept? So that has to begin there."
