There's a certain buzz in the air surrounding the Miami Dolphins this season. In a conference filled to the brim with talent, many view the team as a dark-horse contender in the AFC. With a talented defensive roster and a offensive core with potential, they can make some serious noise as a playoff nuisance.

A lot of the Dolphins' potential success is tied to their quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa. The Alabama QB has raised more questions than answers surrounding his play. However, his work ethic can't be denied. Most recently, Tagovailoa was spotted reading the playsheet and working on his in-game routines. When asked about it, head coach Mike McDaniel had nothing but praise for his QB. (via ProFootballTalk)

“Man, that says everything,” McDaniel said. “That’s why his teammates are confident in him. That’s why I’m confident in him, and that’s why his coaching staff is because that is something that he has done on his own with guidance from his quarterback coach, Coach [Darrell] Bevell.”
