Dolphins rookie quarterback Brandon Doughty is living the dream. He’s not just in the NFL, which is a huge accomplishment. He’s playing for his favorite team, which also happens to be located in his hometown.
“This is my job, but it also is pretty crazy,” said Doughty, the North Broward Prep alum who is the No. 3 quarterback behind starter Ryan Tannehill and backup Matt Moore.
“I don’t think there’s a lot of guys around the world that can say they play for their favorite team.”
Doughty, the seventh-round pick from Western Kentucky, was a long shot – the Dolphins haven’t kept three quarterbacks on the roster in years -- but he didn’t lower his expectations.
