Dolphins' Ryan Fitzpatrick Says He's Tua Tagovailoa's 'Biggest Cheerleader'

Ryan Fitzpatrick will have to battle Tua Tagovailoa for the Miami Dolphins' starting quarterback job, but the veteran has made himself available as a mentor for the rookie.

The 37-year-old discussed his role on the What's Next podcast with former player Eric Wood:

"I'm his biggest cheerleader right now, but I also want to be out there playing," he said.

Fitzpatrick started 13 games for the Dolphins last season and could remain on top of the depth chart until Tagovailoa—whom Miami selected with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2020 draft—is ready to play.
