59. <p>Ryan Tannehill proved last season that he was worthy of being the No. 8 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft when he set career-highs for completions, completion percentage, yards, touchdowns and quarterback rating for the Miami Dolphins.</p>
<p>Fast forward one year later and Tannehill needs to prove he can move into second-tier of quarterbacks and justify the six-year contract extension worth $96 million and $45 million in guaranteed money. If he’s going to be paid like one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, he has to deliver his first winning record after starting his career with a 23-25 record.</p>
<p>The front-office showed their commitment to Tannehill in the form of his new contract, but also with the moves they made in the offseason. The Dolphins shipped out disgruntled receiver Mike Wallace, traded for Kenny Stills and drafted DeVante Parker in the first round to join last year’s second round pick Jarvis Landry. Tannehill has a young and talented group of receivers and now he has to prove he can win with this group.</p>. Quarterback. Miami Dolphins. Ryan Tannehill. 1. player
