The Miami Dolphins have secured former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson on a one-year deal to serve as Tua Tagovailoa's backup. Head coach Mike McDaniel has expressed confidence in Wilson, referring to him as a "direct, calculated target," and believes he possesses the potential for growth despite a rocky start to his career. Notably, Wilson, who was previously with the Broncos, brings a wealth of experience from his time with the Jets, where he started 33 of 34 games.

McDaniel acknowledges the challenges Wilson faced, particularly during his time in New York, but sees promise in his background and skill set. The Dolphins aim to leverage Wilson's collegiate success at BYU to enhance their quarterback depth. With an eye towards developing him within their system, the team is optimistic that Wilson can seize this opportunity to revitalize his career.
