The Miami Dolphins made a discovery last year when they signed free agent tight end Greg Dulcich, first to the practice squad, then to the active roster. In 10 games played, including three starts, he caught 26 passes for 335 yards with one touchdown. He played well enough to earn a new contract with the team this offseason, even with the franchise’s changes to the front office and coaching staff.
Which brings us to today’s discussion. Is Greg Dulcich a Hall of Fame tight end?
Of course not. But, since it was (sarcastically) suggested as a slow news period headline for the site, I thought it would be funny to make it show up today.
Dulcich may not be a future Hall of Fame selection, but he does have a great opportunity this year to move from being a fringe player in the league to a solid contributor as a starter for the Dolphins this year.
“Yeah, I want to play as much football as I can,” Dulcich explained earlier this month when asked about the potential for an expanded role this year. “I think that’s kind of the team we have. Everyone wants to contribute as much as possible and yeah, everyone’s hungry so it’s a cool group to be a part of.”
Dulcich discussed the addition of quarterback Malik Willis this year, and how he can build chemistry with the free agent addition. “Yeah, that’s kind of what OTAs and everything is about, just kind of building that trust, that chemistry,” he stated. “It’s just reps. The more reps you get, the more comfortable you get with each other and you kind of see the field in a similar way.”
Asked about the skill set Willis brings to the Dolphins, Dulcich got excited as he replied, “Oh, man. He’s a stud. He can rip the ball. Sees the field great. Obviously, he’s mobile, but he’s got great pocket presence as well. Our quarterback room is awesome. We got a lot of good dudes in there so I’m excited about it.”
He added, speaking of the velocity Willis puts on this throws, “Yeah, I mean, dude, he gets it out there. Like I said, he can definitely rip it.”
Dulcich has always been a player who had to work his way up. He was a walk-on at UCLA in 2019, earning a scholarship in 2020 and leading the team in receiving yards and touchdowns that season. After the 2021 season, he declared for the NFL Draft and was selected in the third round by the Denver Broncos.
Injuries shortened his first two seasons, then he only played in four games in 2024 before the Broncos waived him. He was claimed by the New York Giants, but he did not record a reception in five games for the Giants. He was waived by the Giants at the end of the 2025 preseason, signing to Miami’s practice squad after clearing waivers.
“Yeah, something like that kind of helped out, especially last...
