MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — If Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is going to take the big third-year step that has been seen from other passers in NFL circles, the greater support he has in the receiving corps will likely have a lot to do with it.
The Dolphins made the blockbuster deal for elite speedster Tyreek Hill. They already have Jaylen Waddle budding off his NFL rookie receptions record. They added Cedrick Wilson Jr., who can play bigger than most slot receivers. Additionally, Miami has Lynn Bowden, who missed all of 2021, coming back off a standout second half of the 2020 season, while returning Preston Williams and drafting rookie Erik Ezukanma, among deeper options.
In watching Tagovailoa throw to his wideouts in the team’s offseason workout program, Dolphins wide receivers coach Wes Welker has come away impressed with Tagovailoa’s progress.
