ESPN Playbook: What has been your "Welcome to the NFL" moment?
Tannehill: I guess it would have to be the first time I went to rookie minicamp. You have that initial moment of going on stage and shaking the commissioner’s hand and holding up the jersey and that’s an awesome moment and a moment I will never forget. But I think it really hits you when you put on that uniform and that helmet for the first time, and you’re with your team and at your facility, and you’re out on the field.
What are you going to miss the most about college?
I’ll really miss playing at Kyle Field. It was a really special place, with the 12th man, and the fans we have there are great. Playing on that field, I’ll definitely miss.
What are you looking forward to most about your new city?
Really the first game. I’m excited to be a part of Miami and really get settled in down there. I’m new to the area, just trying to get things figured out, but once we get to training camp and I get that first game under my belt, it will really be great.
What is your favorite video game?
“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.”
If you could get one rookie card from one player here, who would it be?
That’s a tough one, there are a bunch of good players here. Hard to pick one. I’m going to go with Michael Floyd.
Who has the best college cheerleaders?
A&M -- the only male cheerleaders in the country! :jawdrop
that is just weird)
