The Miami Dolphins will have two former Alabama football offensive stars running South Beach.

Jaylen Waddle was selected No. 6 overall by the Dolphins in the NFL Draft, and Tua Tagovailoa is very excited.

He took to Twitter to voice his emotions after the pick was made. Tagovailoa and Waddle played together at Alabama in 2018 and 2019. Miami needed an explosive receiver, and it has one in Waddle to fulfill its commitment to Tagovailoa.
