PALM BEACH — Zach Wilson was specifically targeted as a backup for Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Monday.
"I guess you guys wouldn't know this," McDaniel said at the NFL owners' meetings at The Breakers. "I guess you guys are flying blind, so let me help you out. He was a direct, calculated target."
McDaniel believes in Wilson's talent. He believed in what he saw when he studied Wilson as a draft prospect at BYU.
"We drafted a quarterback in San Francisco the year he came out," McDaniel said.
