Jaws have been dropping for Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle during the first two days of training camp.
On Wednesday, Waddle and Alabama teammate, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, connected on multiple passes downfield. Waddle was also took on multiple punt returns.
His efforts caught the eye of new head coach Mike McDaniel. The 39-year-old offensive play-caller started a tradition where he gives an orange jersey to the best player at practice. Waddle wore the orange jersey on Thursday.
A second-year player getting recognized as the best practice performer this early into training camp? That’s a good sign.
The recipient of the orange jersey also gets to choose the playlist during practice that day.
