Winner: Ryan Tannehill, quarterback, Miami Dolphins

Last season saw the Dolphins progress big time en route to earning their first playoff appearance since 2008. And prior to his injury, Tannehill had been having his most-productive season to date. He completed a career-high 67.1 percent of his passes, besting Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in that specific category.

The Dolphins’ free agency moves should only continue to create a winning environment for Tannehill to thrive in 2017. First, Miami re-signed wide receiver Kenny Stills. Stills led the team with nine touchdowns in 2016.

Tannehill also inherits tight end Julius Thomas. It was only a few seasons back that Thomas thrived in touchdown production working with current Dolphins head coach Adam Gase and the Denver Broncos, scoring a combined 24 touchdowns in 2013-14.

Yes. Tannehill should have all the tools he needs this upcoming season. Miami retaining Stills and adding Thomas to the mix should magnify this further.
