DAVIE, Fla. -- Count Ryan Fitzpatrick among those expecting the Miami Dolphins to push forward and build around Tua Tagovailoa in anticipation of a big leap in Year 2.
Fitzpatrick has heard the early offseason criticisms of Tagovailoa and the trade rumors connecting unhappy Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson to Miami, but he's not worried about Tagovailoa at all.
Fitzpatrick believes there are several good reasons that Tagovailoa will be much-improved for the Dolphins in 2021.
"Everything is going to be a little more comfortable this year," Fitzpatrick told ESPN on Thursday afternoon.
