Dolphins
Dolphins LT Laremy Tunsil admitted that his 2017 performance left a โhorrible tasteโ in his mouth.
โIt was a bad taste โ a horrible taste,โ Tunsil said, via the Palm Beach Post. โ โฆ I knew I could have been better. Now Iโm here, a new season, a new person. Letโs get it.โ
While many thought Tunsil was going to be a plug-and-play left tackle in the NFL, the former first-round pick says he never looked at it that way.
โI never assumed it was going to be easy,โ Tunsil said. โPlaying left tackle at the highest level of football, I never thought it would be easy.โ
Tunsil added that heโs looking forward to a new season and another opportunity.
โA new season, a new person,โ Tunsil said. โLetโs get it.โ
Jaguars
Mike Kaye of First Coast News takes a look at the Jaguarsโ guard and center positions.
- No surprise, but Kaye lists C Brandon Linder, G Andrew Norwell and G A.J. Cann as locks to make the team.
- Players who are likely to make the team, according to Kaye, include C Tyler Shatley and G Josh Walker.
- This leaves Chris Reed, Brandon Thomas and Sean Hickey as long shots to secure spots on the active roster this summer.
Jets
Jets first-round QB Sam Darnold says heโs โembracedโ the talk of possibly being the teamโs savior.
โI embrace it,โ Darnold said of being viewed as a savior, via the New York Daily News. โBut I understand every single day that itโs a process to come in here and earn respect. Iโm not going to come in here and demand it.โ
While itโs clear there are high hopes for Darnold in New York, HC Todd Bowles mentioned that they have no plans to rush him to start Week 1.
โHeโs going to learn it as he goes,โ Bowles said. โWeโll make that determination (about the Week 1 starter) through preseason and see where we are at the end of it. But weโre not holding him back. Weโre not rushing him at the same time.โ
