MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Malik Washington doesn't like being on boats, but if Tua Tagovailoa invites him, he's there.
It's all part of the process of proving to the Miami Dolphins' quarterback that he can be counted on to show up -- whether it's on or off the field.
Entering his second year, the former sixth-round pick Washington has been one of Tagovailoa's top receivers this summer, with Tyreek Hill missing the past three weeks of practice with an oblique injury. After Miami's preseason finale, during which he scored an impressive 25-yard touchdown, Washington said the chemistry he's built with Tagovailoa is the result of a deliberate effort on his part.
