"There's a bunch of new faces," Wills said. "Whether it's rookies or guys that have been here. But we're all in front of you guys for the first time, and we gotta try and show what we can do."

Heading into the offseason, Miami knew it needed to fill in some gaps. That included beefing up the offensive line with first-round draft pick Kadyn Proctor to get some help for guys like starting left tackle Patrick Paul.

"He's fast, he's physical, he moves off the ball extremely well," said Paul. "So, just happy to have him in the room. He's a great guy, a lot of personality."

Miami will begin the first two weeks of the season on the road, taking on Las Vegas and San Francisco.

The preseason will begin on Aug. 14 at Washington to play the Commanders.
