MIAMI GARDENS, Fla., June 11 (UPI) -- Once perceived as a franchise savior, Zach Wilson is coming off a year in which he didn't take a snap. Now the quarterback, who is on his third team in three years, aims to "let it rip" as a Miami Dolphins backup.
Wilson made the comments on the second day of Dolphins mandatory minicamp Wednesday in Miami Gardens, Fla. The backup quarterback continues to show off his strong arm, but also piled up interceptions in sessions open to the media at the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Wilson, who spent 2024 with the Denver Broncos, says it's all part of his development within coach Mike McDaniel's supersonic offensive scheme.
"Every single day, that's what I'm working on," Wilson said. "The focus is to not care about much of the result, but everyday is my mindset shifting to playing with conviction and just letting it rip."
The Dolphins went into the off-season with an intent to address their quarterbacks room after more injuries to starter Tua Tagovailoa and lack of depth at the position played a large role in their lackluster 8-9 campaign in 2024.
