After sitting out the entire 2023 season behind Tua Tagovailoa, backup quarterback Skylar Thompson finally has another shot at the Miami Dolphins quarterback job. The Dolphins’ head coach, Mike McDaniel, confirmed the former 7th-round pick will start against the Seattle Seahawks.
Following Tua’s latest hit to the head, the Dolphins decided to put the $53 million man on the concussion protocol. This opened the door for Thompson.
When star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was asked to define a few qualities of the 27-year-old, he made an ironic comparison with Tagovailoa.

He’s [Skylar Thompson] a little bit faster than Tua. I’m a little bit excited about that… He does a great job of extending plays.Tyreek Hill said to reporters on Friday
Hill highlighted Thompson’s last game for the Dolphins, which he played against the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs after both Tua and Teddy Bridgwater ended up suffering concussions.
When we played against Buffalo [the Bills in the 2022 playoffs], he did a good job of stretching the ball downfield and giving them a different look. He has some great qualities to himself. He’s fearless; he’s not afraid of anything, and he’s a real competitor. I love that.Tyreek Hill added
Thompson completed 18/45 for 220 yards, a touchdown with 2 interceptions. While the completion percentage may not look that great, the receivers dropping a few passes had a hand in it.
