Could Dolphins finally have a skilled red-zone threat at tight end? The signs are encouraging

As Ryan Tannehill and Mike Gesicki connected several times in practice this week, including multiple touchdowns in red zone drills, the question kept popping to mind:

Does a franchise that has never had a tight end with 80 catches or 1000 yards in a season finally have one?

It’s far too soon to know, but the accelerated progress in Tannehill’s and Gesicki’s on-field chemistry had those in attendance dreaming of the intoxicating possibilities.

Using his 6-6 height and long arms, Gesicki rose in the end zone to grab a touchdown over 6-3 linebacker Stephone Anthony on Friday.
