This artical really excites me for the new season. My cousin Bruce Hardy had some great props for McMicheal. I had no idea he still holds the record for TD's for a phin TE. Pretty kewl huh?
"While Hardy said it would be difficult to compare one tight end to the others because of the eras in which they played, he admits this much: McMichael is better than he was.
That's no small thing, because Hardy holds the club record for touchdowns by a tight end with 25.
It's the only career Dolphins record for tight ends that McMichael has yet to surpass.
"I was a decent athlete, but I couldn't do some of the things he can - jump as high or run as fast," said Hardy, a Dolphin from 1978 through '89. "His rookie year, when he dove over the top of a bunch of guys in the corner of the end zone, I thought, 'If I had tried that, I'd blow out both of my knees!' ''
