MIAMI -- On a day when Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill caught 11 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns, any other receiving stat line might look pedestrian. But that doesn’t mean Jaylen Waddle's impact on the Dolphins' 36-34 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1 was insignificant.
The third-year receiver had 78 yards and four catches on five targets, which seems like a quiet day considering his first catch went for 35 yards on the third play of the game. But Waddle's teammates and coaches insist his presence was felt even as Hill turned in his best day as a Dolphin.
