MIAMI (AP) — Miami Dolphins newcomer Tua Tagovailoa is starting to connect with his receivers.
And for now, veteran wideout Albert Wilson said, long-distance hookups with the rookie quarterback will have to do.
The night Tagovailoa was drafted last month, he pledged to begin reaching out to his new teammates by phone. He has done just that.
“He sent me a text,” Wilson said Wednesday. “He hit me up right after he got drafted, saying how excited he was to get down here and be part of the team.”
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, Wilson and his veteran teammates haven’t had a chance to meet Tagovailoa, much less work out with him.
