Few people - neither fans nor analysts - predicted that the Miami Dolphins would take a quarterback in the 2022 NFL Draft. After all, they re-committed themselves to 2020 1st round selection, Tua Tagovailoa, this offseason, while also signing competent veteran, Teddy Bridgewater, as his backup. There it was. Miami’s quarterback room for the 2022 was set.
Until it wasn’t.
Enter, Skyler Thompson - the 24 (now 25) year old rookie from Kansas State who the Dolphins selected in the 7th round of the league’s most recent draft. Okay, so the Dolphins drafted a late round quarterback, but that doesn’t mean he is going to be good enough to make the squad, right?
