1-on-1: Ryan Tannehill on Miami, NFL life & coming home

The Dolphins' first-round pick details his new life

* It's an honor to be here. An exciting time for everyone here. It's a big time, the unveiling of these uniforms, and I'm jealous I didn't get to be here to wear them myself.

* To walk out on stage and hear the applause was great. It's great to be home. This'll always be home, and to get a warm welcome is great. Seeing the guys was the best thing, seeing my best friends. They're excited about the uniforms and the season. Great to get to enjoy that with them.

* The uniforms, the conference and a lot of other things that have happened are all changes since I've been gone. But I'm excited about the direction. We'll have to see how these guys go and do next year.

* It helps having so many people from A&M in Miami. Being in a situation with familiar faces and a familiar playbook helps a lot. I'm not going to a place with no one I really know. I have the background with the offense, so while it's been a whirlwind, it's been fun. I'm still settling in South Florida. Excited for training camp to start up.

* It helps Lauren and I that we landed in Miami. She was pulling for it the whole way. I wasn't leaning in any direction, but she was more than elated on draft night to see that area code pop up. She's been involved in modeling down there and it's been a great spot for me with the familiarity. I'm excited for our future as a franchise.

* Coach Sherman is doing great. He's still focused on football, but he's doing great.
