Dolphins star demands massive change after blowout of Broncos

A budding Miami Dolphins star has made a serious request following his incredible performance in Week 3. The Dolphins embarrassed Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos as they scored 70 points.

Pretty much every Dolphins player had a good performance against the Broncos. However, one player had an exceptional game — De’Von Achane. The rookie running back had 203 rushing yards on 18 carries and added 30 receiving yards on four catches in Week 3.

Achane recorded four total touchdowns over the Broncos — two receiving and two running. The third-round pick gained a major confidence boost Sunday. And he sent a notice to the league for respect.

According to Adam Schefter with ESPN, Achane requested that his name be pronounced differently than how it is in the Dolphins’ media guide. The media guide pronounces it A-Chain. Achane wants to be called A-Chan.

A PSA: After his four touchdown performance Sunday, Dolphins’ rookie RB Devon Achane informed the team that, moving forward, he would like his name to be pronounced De-Von A-Chan.

Not A-Chain, as it currently is listed in the team’s media guide. A-Chan.

If Achane runs like that … call him whatever he wants.

The 3-0 Dolphins are scary good. They have weapons, including Achane, all over their offense. Their 70-point performance against the Broncos came with Jaylen Waddle being ruled out.
