If disrespect and doubt were wings, Ryan Tannehill would be ready to take off and soar. He would be poised to fly higher than we have ever seen him, with the Miami Dolphins on his back and along for the joy ride.
No starting quarterback in the NFL faces more pressure than Tannehill as the team begins its offseason on-field work with practices Tuesday through Thursday at the Davie training facility. But no QB should be armed with more motivation, either.
Miami's internal enthusiasm over Tannehill's return after a year lost to a knee injury is not shared by most others.
