Quarterback Ryan Tannehill continues to improve as he has done each year since entering the league in 2012.

The eighth overall pick in the 2012 draft, the three-year pro threw 12 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions while completing just 58.3 percent of his throws.

One year later, the young signal-caller was picked off 17 times but elevated his completion percentage (60.4) doubled his amount of scores through the air (24) despite the fact that he was sacked a league-high 58 times.

This past season, Tannehill not only put a lot of things together but this offseason was rewarded with a lucrative contract extension. He would complete an impressive 66.4 percent of his passes for 4,045 yards for a career-best 27 scores and a career-low 12 interception.

This season, Tannehill will have a revamped receiving corps that still includes Jarvis Landry (team-high 84 catches in 2014) but now features wideouts Greg Jennings and Kenny Stills, as well former Pro Bowl tight end Jordan Cameron. The improving performer could be in for a monster year in 2015 if all falls into place.
