There may be no more important position in the AFC East than Tua Tagovailoa’s backup. After several scary head injuries last season, the Dolphins’ offense was night and day when Tua wasn’t on the field.
According to Brobible’s Dov Kleiman, the team announced Monday that former Jets QB Mike White will be QB2 this season with Skylar Thompson taking the third spot on the depth chart.
