The Dolphins start the season at home against the New England Patriots.

For new head coach Mike McDaniel, that means his first career game will be against Bill Belichick, one of the greatest coaches of in NFL history.

McDaniel joked about the matchup on Monday.

McDaniel said, “Can there be a bigger disparity if career win-loss total... it would be a bigger deal I think if coach Belichick and I were on the field maybe doing the Oklahoma drill.”

McDaniel added that fans probably would not pay to see that.

However, they will pay to see the Dolphins new wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

He said Monday that he’s excited to start his Dolphins career.

He added that nothing happens on the football field without the collective team working together.

Hill said, “I’m ready to be welcomed into Hard Rock Stadium.”

Hill has continually backed quarterback Tua Tagovailoa this offseason.

Fans will finally get to see Tagovailoa’s development in his third year at quarterback, in McDaniel’s system, on Sunday.
