Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa showed excellent touch in throwing a perfect fade pass in the corner of the end zone to slot receiver Malcolm Perry, who had beaten his defender off the line of scrimmage.
Tagovailoa is considered the future of the franchise after being selected fifth overall in 2020 NFL Draft following a decorated career at Alabama. Perry, on the other hand, was viewed as more of a developmental project after being chosen in the seventh round (246th overall) out of Navy.
That’s because Perry is being asked to make the conversion from quarterback in a triple-option offense at Navy into a quick-spread passing attack with the Dolphins.
