MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Tua Tagovailoa and the rest of the Dolphins rookie class are making an impact in the community this holiday season.

This is the second year the Dolphins have participated in the "Adopt-A-Family" initiative in partnership with Neighbors 4 Neighbors.

The players met virtually with the adopted families.

"What's up guys? Tua Tagovailoa here, quarterback for the Miami Dolphins. Just want to wish you guys a merry Christmas. We just hope you guys like all the gifts we got you guys," Tagovailoa said. "And like I said, we just want to wish you a merry Christmas and happy new year."

The four adopted families were all appreciative of what these Dolphins players did for them.
