The cheeky ease with which the kid started — in a place that’s haunted the Miami Dolphins — matters in a good way. Everyone knew Jaylen Waddle was fast. Was anyone sure he’d be this quicksilver fast in turning NFL heads?

Everyone know time is the big test. But there’s a special place for the rookies who don’t need a process or patented patience to announce their arrival.
