Ryan Tannehill began his career with the Dolphins at their rookie minicamp today. According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, he had a good first day at minicamp. Tannehill said he knows approximately "80 to 85 percent" of the offense because it's similar to the one he ran at Texas A&M under Mike Sherman although "some of the concepts have changed." Tannehill throws a very impressive ball on out patterns and comebacks. He also connected on a couple of deep passes that caught the coaching staff's collective eye. He threw a couple of double-moves and deep routes well," coach Joe Philbin said.

As much as I believe the Miami Dolphins would love to sit rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill for the next season or two, in order to allow him to develop, they might be forced to start him right away in 2012.
