Darlington on Ryan Tannehill: 'This Guy Gets It'

Interviews-wqam

Ryan Tannehill appears to be a quarterback on the rise, with countless reports of camp documenting his improvement this summer.

"I spent a lot of time talking to Ryan this offseason and I can tell you this guy gets it," NFL Network's Jeff Darlington said on the Joe Rose Show. "He understands his place with the organization. He is so much more confident, so much more of an adult I would say -- not that he was ever immature. This guy has gotten it since the beginning but he just has this aura about him now that I think didn't necessarily exist.

"I think that he's got this gravitas going about him right now. He's worked real hard on the long ball this offseason and I think you're looking at a guy who -- absolutely from what I've seen in practice -- looks like he knows what his impact can be on this organization."
