8/1/22 UPDATE: Miami Dolphins Orange Jersey Award TRACKER; Tyreek Hill joins the TWO-TIME Winner's Club!

Miami Dolphins training camp is in full swing as we turn another page on the calendar and find ourselves in the month of August - a month that will see the Dolphins playing competitive (albeit preseason) football!

To prepare themselves for the season, the Dolphins took the field again Monday morning for another practice in the South Florida sun. While the rest of the team donned aqua or white threads, one player was bestowed the honor of wearing an orange jersey - a jersey given to the previous session's top performer. That player was newly acquired wide-receiver, Tyreek Hill!

After catching a beautiful 65 yard touchdown pass from quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, that set the Twittersphere ablaze and had Bills, Jets and Patriots fans shaking in their boots, Hill was rightly named the best practice player from a session that saw the stands full of real-life Fins fans!

This is Hill's second time being given the honor of wearing the orange jersey, joining second-year safety, Jevon Holland, in the exclusive two-time winner's club.

The recipient of the award gets to choose the music that is played at practice for the day, and according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, Hill had his reggae cap on.

While it is fun to see Tyreek Hill in the orange jersey, it is even more important that we're seeing the chemistry between he and third-year QB, Tua Tagovailoa, develop at a quick pace. If Miami wants to find themselves in the playoffs this year, they must avoid the slow start that has plagued the Dolphins the past few seasons. Hill's emergence as an alpha male on this team will go a long way towards the Fins making the postseason for the first time since 2016.
