Dolphins' Waddle ready to race, learn from Tyreek Hill

The Miami Dolphins boast two of the fastest players in the league in wide receivers Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill.

Waddle, entering his second season with Miami, is prepared for an eventual race with the newly acquired veteran after Hill issued a challenge during his introductory press conference.

"The next day, I said, 'I know he's going to try to race. Let me get on these legs real quick,'" Waddle told Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel during an interview on the "I Am Athlete" podcast. "I already know a race is going to come."

The Dolphins traded multiple picks to the Kansas City Chiefs to add Hill, and Waddle is also relishing the opportunity to learn from the three-time All-Pro.

"He's going on his seventh year. He's had tremendous success. I can learn a lot from him if he's willing to teach it," Waddle said.

Waddle quickly became a reliable outlet for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa during the 2021 season. He set an NFL record for receptions by a rookie with 104 catches to go along with 1,015 receiving yards and six touchdowns.

In addition to Waddle and Hill, first-year coach Mike McDaniel can also call upon Cedrick Wilson to serve as a formidable weapon.
