Jaylen Waddle brought fun, laughter, excitement, and explosive plays to Alabama football.
He carried the vibe to the Miami Dolphins and is having a good rookie season. Waddle got selected at No. 6 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft and became the primary target for Tua Tagovailoa. He won a College Football Playoff National Championship with Alabama in 2020, regardless of suffering an ankle injury. Waddle has been pivotal in Miami’s seven-game winning streak as the Dolphins are 8-7 on the season. His performance in Monday’s game versus New Orleans has the team in a playoff spot.
The 5-foot-10, 182-pounder led Miami for receptions (10), yards (92), and touchdowns (one) in a 20-3 victory over the Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
