McCord Steps In Fast for Dolphins | Miami Dolphins News

The Miami Dolphins just pulled off a bold move, trading for QB Kyle McCord—never played an NFL snap—to take over the No. 2 spot behind Malik Willis, with just 11 days until the season opener. McCord’s quick rise is fueled by familiar offensive schemes from his time in Philly and a connection with new coordinator Kevin Patullo, whom he knew from his Eagles practice squad days. He’s already ahead of schedule, laser-focused on mastering the current game plan—especially two-minute drills—and bonding with Willis during OTAs. This marks the first time since 2006 the Dolphins have traded for a backup QB before kickoff, turning McCord into their most promising developmental option for the season.
