DAVIE, Fla. (AP) – Dan Marino has lately been passing along advice, and Ryan Tannehill is happy to be the receiver.
Tannehill says he has been getting helpful tips at the Miami Dolphins’ complex from Marino, who was hired in August as a special adviser to team owner Stephen Ross.
Marino, who attended Wednesday’s practice, was the most prolific passer in NFL history when he retired following the 1999 season. The Dolphins haven’t publicly defined his role, but Tannehill said he and the Pro Football Hall of Famer have watched film together two or three times.
Tannehill has a quarterback rating of 86.1 this season, the best of his three-year career. But he continues to battle inconsistency, and the Dolphins’ offense scored only one touchdown in last week’s win at woeful Jacksonville.
