Dolphins rookie WR looking to improve biggest weakness in the NFL

The Miami Dolphins added four rookie wide receivers this offseason, three in the 2026 NFL draft and one as an undrafted free agent, who they hope will not only make the team out of camp but make an impact in their first season.

Caleb Douglas was the first of these rookies to join the roster when Miami used a third-round pick on the Texas Tech wide out, and while there's plenty of reason to be excited about his prospects, he had one big issue in college - drops.

Last year, Douglas dropped seven passes, and that problem can't persist in the NFL. Drops can end drives, kill momentum and destroy a quarterback's confidence in a receiver. That's why he's acknowledging the issue and addressing it.

“Lack of detail; I’m a pro now,” Douglas said over the weekend (via the Miami Herald). “I have to show I can be more consistent and make the big plays that I make.”

In two years with the Red Raiders, Douglas caught 114 passes for 1,723 yards and 13 touchdowns while earning All-Big 12 honors once. Now, in Miami, he has a chance to be the team's top wide receiver in Week 1. He just needs to limit those drops and show what he's capable of.
