QB Mitchell Trubisky

Trubisky is the no-brainer candidate if the Dolphins want an athletic reclamation project to play behind Tagovailoa. Trubisky knows all about the pressures of being a top-5 selection for a quarterback starved franchise, too — so he’s likely to have some perspective on the NFL that would be helpful for Tagovailoa to navigate. Trubisky would also offer some of the same dynamics to this offense regarding moving the quarterback around and changing the launch point; so there’s some appeal from an athleticism perspective as well.
