25. Miami Dolphins (25)

Can Adam Gase finally get the Miami Dolphins to the competitive level they’ve been fighting to reach for so long?

Gase has received plenty of praise over the years for being an offensive-minded genius and the organization hopes he can finally be the one to help Ryan Tannehill reach his true potential. Miami has been patient with Tannehill over the last four years and even though he’s started every game in that time, the Dolphins are still waiting to see him hit the next level–which would be a playoff run.

2008 was the last time Miami reached the postseason and the talent is certainly there heading into Week 1; it’s just a matter of whether the Dolphins can turn that potential into success. Tannehill has faced plenty of pressure throughout his career and this season is no different as the former first-round is running out of excuses if he has any intention of being around for the long run.
