Terron Armstead's recent retirement party highlighted his confidence in Patrick Paul, the promising left tackle poised to take over his position for the Miami Dolphins. Armstead declared, "He’s the guy, it’s his time" and emphasized Paul's work ethic and innate talent as key components for success. Despite a rocky rookie season with a PFF grade of 44.9, Armstead believes Paul will rise to the occasion and continue to improve as he gains experience.

Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith has also noted Paul's ongoing development, particularly in pass protection and run fundamentals, showing optimism for both the short and long-term future of this young lineman. Armstead’s endorsement may fuel Paul's motivation to excel in his upcoming role, making him a player to watch closely in the 2024 season.
