Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel expressed confidence in Zach Wilson as the preferred backup for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa following his struggles with injuries. Drafted second overall in 2021, Wilson's past performance with the New York Jets fell short, leading to his acquisition by the Dolphins. McDaniel highlighted Wilson's raw skills and potential for development, viewing him as a 'project' capable of evolving within the Dolphins' system. Despite questions about his experience, McDaniel sees an opportunity for Wilson to grow and contribute to the team.
He was a direct, calculated target. We thought that was a way the Miami Dolphins could get better and are excited to see how he seizes that opportunity.
He was a phenomenal talent that, in my opinion, didn't have reps in an NFL pocket yet... I think it is close to impossible to excel that early in that new form of football.
