The Good, Bad & Ugly from the Miami Dolphins’ Preseason Week One Victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Many questioned the selection when Skylar Thompson was taken in the 7th round of the 2022 NFL Draft - not because the player wasn’t any good (he had his share of success at Kansas State) - but because Miami had such little draft capital and wasn’t really in need of another quarterback after signing veteran, Teddy Bridgewater, to backup incumbent starter, Tua Tagovailoa.

However, reports out of practice have been mostly positive for Thompson, and with Tua and Teddy sitting out Miami’s first preseason contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it was the Skyler Show for the entire game - and the rookie made the most of his opportunity.
