"As far as his game, he's very, very much ready for this moment as he has seen himself as a 1, and we've approached it the same way.""
""We never look at it like Receiver 1, or 1A-1B. I think that's more like a media thing or something that gives something for the media to talk about," Waddle said this week. "We all go out there, make plays and just try to help our team win. It's not a Receiver 1, Receiver 2, type of thing. It's being able to go out there, contribute and help your team get a W.""
The Miami Dolphins drafted Jaylen Waddle No. 6 overall in 2021 with expectations for him to be a long-term primary wide receiver. Waddle’s rookie season produced career highs in targets and receptions when he played without Tyreek Hill. The addition of Tyreek Hill shifted Waddle into a complementary role over the past three seasons. A severe knee injury to Hill elevates Waddle into a true No. 1 receiving role beginning Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Coaching assessments indicate Waddle is prepared for increased targets and responsibility while Waddle emphasizes team contribution over positional labels.
