Alabama, Dallas Strengthen NFL Special Teams Ahead 2025 Season

As the 2025 college football season approaches, Alabama faces a challenging transition in special teams after losing key players from the previous year, with expectations set for improvement following inconsistent performances in 2024. Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins' offense, which dazzled in 2023 under coach Mike McDaniel with stars like Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill, suffered a significant decline in 2024 due to injuries and other factors, prompting roster changes including new offensive linemen to regain their competitive edge in a tough division. The Dolphins also have a historical reputation for drafting some of the NFL's greatest players, with 14 selections recognized by ESPN among the best at their draft positions, including legends like Dan Marino and Jason Taylor. On the other hand, the Dallas Cowboys' special teams unit is regarded as one of the NFL's strongest for 2025, highlighted by consistent performances from punter Bryan Anger and record-setting returner KaVontae Turpin, backed by strategic contracts and a smooth transition from previous veterans to maintain elite status.
