Ryan Tannehill Running No-Huddle for Miami Dolphins, and More AFC East News

Rookie quarterbacks are getting integrated into the game faster than ever before.

If you are tired of hearing that, look no further for hard proof than the numbers presented by Peter King of Sports Illustrated in Monday Morning Quarterback:

"

STATS Inc. came up with this great number last week: Through the first five weeks of the season, not only were the Miami Dolphins leading all NFL teams in use of the no-huddle, running it on 58.9 percent of the snaps, but also they were more productive in the no-huddle, averaging nearly a yard more per play when they didn't huddle than when they did ... with a rookie quarterback, Ryan Tannehill, running the controls.

Tannehill, according to STATS Inc., ran 26 snaps of no-huddle in his first NFL game and never slowed down.

"

More and more over the past few weeks, Ryan Tannehill has proven that he doesn't need to lean on an effective running game—that's because he hasn't had the luxury of an effective running game.

The Miami Dolphins are turning a lot of heads, and it's all thanks to a quarterback who all the draftniks said was supposed to ride the bench in his rookie year while he learned the NFL game.

Looks like he's learning on the job just fine.
