Dolphins Rookie QB Ryan Tannehill Is Teaching New Offense To Veterans

[SteveRobWhatever]

Ryan Tannehill played quarterback for Mike Sherman's Texas A&M Aggies for a season and a half, and put up some pretty solid numbers doing so. Of course, with that limited experience, Tannehill, the eighth overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins, will have to work his way up the depth chart against veterans Matt Moore and David Garrard. One thing in Tannehill's favor is his experience with the offense the Dolphins are running. Sherman is now the Dolphins' offensive coordinator, which means Tannehill has a bead on Sherman's passing concepts and West Coast offense verbiage. And as Dolphins center Mike Pouncey recently told the NFL Network, that familiarity has Tannehill teaching those very same quarterbacks and the other players on the team. "He definitely knows it," Pouncey said of his rookie teammate. "He ran it in college. You can see it in practice. He's teaching the veteran guys some plays. All those guys are working together, so there's not any animosity in the room. Those guys are going out there and competing. He's a guy that's mature and ready to play, he knows this offense and with his arm strength he can help this team."
