The Miami Dolphins finished up their first joint practice of the 2022 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Wednesday afternoon, and both teams flashed at points.
For Miami, one of the most interesting aspects of the session was seeing whether or not their offense could put the pressure on defenses as they had done for periods against their own defense.
With the addition of Tyreek Hill, the Dolphins’ receivers are expected to be much better this year, and after the first practice, Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis spoke about how hard it is to cover both Hill and his teammate, Jaylen Waddle.
“[Hill’s] a different kind of receiver all-around,” Davis said. “He brings something to the game that no other receiver does, so just to be able to go up against him in practice, especially early on in camp just helps you fine-tune your skills and your technique. He was really good today. I’m excited to go back up against him tomorrow, him and Waddle. They’re just two fast, twitchy guys that you just gotta love and embrace going against them because there’s no other receivers in the league that can do what they do.”

Entering his fourth season in the NFL, Davis has gone up against some of the best that the league has to offer, and in his mind, Hill and Waddle can be found on that list.
