Tannehill excellent when under pressure

Ryan Tannehill Headshot

The scouting report on QB Ryan Tannehill coming out of Texas A&M said he was a capable passer when under pressure.  That was certainly the case during his 2012 rookie campaign with the Dolphins.  Pro Football Focus ranked him as the 4th-best QB in the NFL when under pressure -- behind only Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning.  Tannehill completed 51% of his passes, averaged 7.1 yards per attempt and tossed 3 TDs vs. 4 INTs when pressured.  The Fins have added a few more weapons to his arsenal this offseason.  The offensive line remains a concern.  But perhaps his protection won't matter as much as we think.  Tannehill is worth targeting as a QB2 flier near the end of fantasy drafts this summer.
