Stills made it clear during his introductory news conference Saturday that he's not in Miami to become "Mike Wallace 2.0." Stills wants to establish his own identity with the Dolphins.

“I don’t think I was brought in to replace anybody,” Stills said. “I’m just here to do whatever I can to help the team win. Mike is a great player, and I’ve looked up to everything he’s done.”

Like Wallace, Stills is a deep threat who averaged 16.5 yards per reception in his two NFL seasons. But Stills said he’s not fine with the label of being a “speed receiver.” Stills said he believes he is an all-around receiver who can do multiple things.

Stills, 22, also is young. Dolphins general manager Dennis Hickey described him as “an ascending player” they’ve had their eye on.

“I’m not focusing on my ceiling right now,” Stills said. “I’m just excited to be here, happy to be here and working my tail off to make sure I can maximize my potential.”

Stills said he’s already familiar with several players on the Dolphins. He played with backup running back Damien Williams in college at Oklahoma. Stills also played in college against Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who went to Texas A&M, and Stills is friends with fellow receiver Jarvis Landry.

Getting comfortable with a new team, new surroundings and a new offense quickly this year will go a long way to helping Stills make an immediate impact.

I was impressed, he's a sharp kid.

He didn't let the cl0wns in the press con him into playing their 'give me a quote' game...

I'll bet he will be out there the first chance he gets working with Ryan and the rest of those guys...
 
Loved the cheap shots Hickey takes on Wallace by saying Stills is a good teammate.
 
It is great that he has friends on the team. That should help him adjust and become more comfortable.
 
Damn! I love Stills and Landry. I'm just waiting to see if we draft another WR before changing my user name to Stills&Landry... Nobody better take it or I'll kill you. Actually, I'm doing it now.
 
How do I change my user name? Disturbed, anybody with image skills, can I get a Stills&Landry sig?

Can't even register a new user, it says I'm behind a proxy, which is not true.

Are you not behind either dumping Wallace or bringing Stills, Hoops? IMO these are VERY shrewd moves and if you watch tape on Stills, which I guess you must already have, you've seen how much better than Wallace Stills is at the things Wallace wasn't good. Although, perhaps not as fast, but who is?
 
Just get with the team, put in work, and do work on Sundays.

Would really like to see his pal DAMIEN WILLIAMS on the field with him.

We have the upgrade to Lamar Miller right there.

It is nice too know he has these close friends on the team already. He and Jarvis will work good together. Its a suck azz situation any time your the new kid and you don't know anybody. Having pals on the team already will pay dividends unexpected.

Hickey is putting together a nice roster. Oh wait? I thought this was all Tannenbaum? :lol:
