And we've got something else planned when we leave here right before training camp and stuff like that. I love it," Landry said. "Again, I didn't do that in Miami with the quarterbacks because they didn't want to do it.

They're both under the age of 30.Tannehill's first season under Adam Gase in 2016 resulted in some of the best numbers of his career, so there's reason to believe he'll continue his ascent under Gase's tutelage.
