Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan tabs TE Greg Dulcich as 2026 riser: ‘It’s why we brought him back’
In 10 games last season (all of them coming in Week 8 and beyond), Dulcich produced 26 receptions for 335 yards and a touchdown for a pedestrian Dolphins offense. His finest showing was in Week 17 when he posted five grabs for 58 yards and his lone score, an 11-yarder from Quinn Ewers in a 20-17 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was Miami’s only win over its final four games.
Over four seasons, Dulcich has bounced from the Denver Broncos to the New York Giants to the Dolphins. When Dulcich inked a one-year, $3.25 million contract with Miami in March, it signaled the first time he signed a second contract with a team.
Once an aspiring quarterback during his days at St. Francis High in La Cañada, California, Dulcich became a standout wide receiver for the late Jim Bonds. Bonds was a baseball and football player at UCLA, where he played with Dave Roberts and was stuck at QB behind future Hall of Famer Troy Aikman, respectively. Dulcich became a walk-on tight end who rose to promise at UCLA and was drafted in the 2022 NFL Draft’s third round by the Broncos and general manager George Paton, who was Bonds’ former UCLA roommate.
A big-play weapon at tight end, Dulcich has been hampered by injuries throughout his NFL career, including his rookie campaign. Still, he flashed his potential in his very first league game, breaking loose for a 39-yard score off a Russell Wilson pass during a Monday Night Football loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
