A six-pack of Dolphins notes on a Friday:
• What’s most encouraging about Ryan Tannehill is: A) how he improved under Adam Gase and B) how he’s back to 100 percent (in his estimation) after a frightening knee injury.
But to a lesser extent, this is also heartening to the Dolphins: He continues to emerge as a leader, which is vital to the quarterback position.
Tannehill’s ability to be a vocal, in-your-face leader had been a serious question, even a bit of a concern, earlier in his career. It shouldn’t be now.
“Well, even as a rookie, I thought he was very poised and had great leadership qualities,” said new tight end Anthony Fasano, who played with Tannehill his rookie season before leaving and returning to the Dolphins this offseason.
