No matter how his production fell off during the 2022 NFL season, Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki was a constant professional and never seemed to not be having fun on the field. After a 73-reception, 780 yards season in 2021 that led to him receiving the franchise tag, Gesicki’s stats plummeted to just 32 receptions and 362 yards, with only one start. For a tight end considered among the best pass-catchers out of the position and a player whose star was on the rise, there had to be frustrations, but Gesicki never let those show.
The Dolphins’ offense in 2022, installed by first-year head coach Mike McDaniel, just never seemed to suit Gesicki.
