Zach Wilson’s Miami era has officially begun.

Wilson said Miami was “a great fit” for him because of head coach Mike McDaniel and quarterbacks coach Darrell Bevell and the right place to write the next chapter of his NFL career.
“I think it’s going to be a great fit just with what I’m looking for, the type of offense, the amount of information I’ll be able to learn from these guys. I think it couldn’t have been a better match,” he said.
Wilson called the Dolphins’ offense “extremely explosive.”
“There’s obviously a lot of speed on the field. It’s been one of those teams that on film you know when I try to watch film of the offense, you can’t really replicate anything they’re doing because they’re extremely explosive with what they have. And coach does a great job of altering things to his players and what their best strong suits are,” he said.
The former second overall pick said that in him the Dolphins are getting “somebody willing to come into work every single day, take advantage of the opportunity and go out there and be my best self and let it fly.”
The Miami weather, which Wilson described as “awesome,” may have also played a role in the former BYU quarterback’s decision to move south.
Wilson is familiar with the Dolphins from his time with the New York Jets. The two teams are division foes, meaning that they face off twice each season.
