Miami Dolphins rookie QB Ryan Tannehill needs a lesson on the NFL's divisional alignment.
The Dolphins are going all in with quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
They made him the No. 8 overall selection in April's NFL Draft and are thrusting him into the starting job. But if Miami truly believes Ryan Tannehill is its franchise QB, it might want to educate him on the league he's playing in, because he apparently doesn't know much about it.
One would think a player entering the NFL would know the teams that comprise the league and in which division each time resides. It's something most fans can rattle off in seconds. But we found out on Tuesday's episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks" that Tannehill's NFL geography knowledge is essentially nonexistent.
Here's what a confused Tannehill had to say about the NFL's division arrangement:
"I wasn't a huge pro fan growing up; I wasn't loyal to any one team, so I don't really know the divisions, and even really conferences. I know most of the conferences but some of those, I really have no clue. And they don't make sense. You have the AFC East, and we're freaking in the bottom of the map, and the directions don't make any sense where the teams actually are."
Amazed at this discovery, Tannehill's backup, Matt Moore, decided to troll the rookie signal-caller, quizzing him on a few divisions. It didn't take long for Tannehill to fumble, as he placed the Giants in the NFC North with the Packers and Vikings. He then thought the Chiefs were in the NFC East.
Fortunately for Tannehill, who played at Texas A&M, the Dolphins don't play in Kansas City or against the Giants this season.
