DAVIE (AP) — Miami Dolphins left tackle Laremy Tunsil has spoken several times this summer of the desire to become a more vocal leader.
Standing in the middle of the locker room after a recent practice, he assessed his efforts.
“Pretty good!!” Tunsil shouted, startling the entire room. He then turned to his fellow offensive linemen and to the socks, shoes and athletic tape strewn at their feet.
“Hey guys, clean this up now!” he said.
The only response was laughter.
“It doesn’t work,” Tunsil said, with a shrug. “We’re still getting there.”
Even the Dolphins’ best offensive player has room to improve.
