How to say Dolphins RB’s name

There has been a change in how to correctly pronounce Miami Dolphins rookie running back De’Von Achane’s name.

Following his record-setting performance for 203 rushing yards and four touchdowns in Sunday’s 70-20 win over the Denver Broncos, Achane has updated his name pronunciation.

It’s “duh-VON AY-chan.”

The last name was previously pronounced “AY-chain.”

Earlier player pronunciation guides released by the Dolphins list Achane with the “chain” pronunciation. This has since been updated, and the team’s media site now includes a recording of Achane himself pronouncing it with the “chan” ending.

At Dolphins rookie minicamp this offseason, before Monday’s update, Achane said a reporter was correct when pronouncing with the “chain” at the end. He was also known as such while a standout at Texas A&M before he was drafted in third round of the past draft.

The topic came up Monday after ESPN’s Adam Schefter said on the Pat McAfee Show that the correct pronunciation was “AY-chan” to blowback from the hosts.

Within the segment, he retracted the statement after receiving a text from a league source while on air. But then, Schefter tweeted moments later that Achane informed the Dolphins following Sunday’s game that he would like his name pronounced “AY-chan.”

The South Florida Sun Sentinel confirmed the change.
