Daniel Brunskill is a veteran OL who could absorb RG duties or swing to multiple spots. His depth and versatility offer a cushion as Daniels heals, potentially stabilizing protection and allowing other linemen to adjust without big drops in run or pass efficiency.

Brunskill, a free-agent addition, has guard starts and familiarity with McDaniel’s scheme, offering the most stable insurance if Daniels misses time and Smith struggles.

Brunskill adds interior flexibility, able to slide across multiple spots along the line. His experience bolsters the unit’s overall resilience, informing how aggressively Miami can rotate guards and keep pass protection solid while dealing with early-season wear and injuries.

Brunskill brings veteran guard/tackle depth to an O-line with starters set but limited swing options. His preseason effort could shape the guard/tackle backup mix, with direct implications for mobility and protection in the backfield and pass game.
