Lamar Miller has said that he will be aiming for 1,500 rushing yards during the 2013 NFL season.

The Miami Dolphins running back is heading into his second season in the league, having recorded 250 yards and scored a touchdown during his rookie season.

The 22-year-old told NFL Network: "My goal is 1,500 [yards]. We have great offensive linemen, so hopefully we can get the job done. I'm aiming for 1,500.

"I hear a lot of fans talking about their fantasy teams. I'm really not trying to pay too much attention to it.

"I'm just trying to do whatever's best to help this team win, put points on the scoreboard."

Miller is expected to see an increased workload in the coming season following the departure of Reggie Bush.
