The 2013 NFL Draft was one of hope for the Miami Dolphins and their fans. The Dolphins had drafted Ryan Tannehill in 2012 and he became the team’s starting quarterback heading into his rookie season, the first time a rookie opened the season as the starting quarterback in franchise history. Head coach Joe Philbin was heading into his second season and the team was debuting a completely new look for the club as the team changed jerseys and logos.
It was time for a clean, fresh start and the end of the team’s struggles.
