MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler "Snoop" Huntley was named for rap legend Snoop Dogg. Does Tyler prefer Tyler or Snoop?

“My momma would prefer Tyler,” he said. “Everybody calls me Snoop, so you can call me Snoop.” When Huntley played in the February 2023 Pro Bowl (as an injury replacement for Josh Allen), he met Snoop Dog, the rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, media personality and actor.

Thompson is no stranger to getting thrown into hostile environments as a backup, and he faces his latest challenge Sunday in Seattle, while Huntley embraces his homecoming as a backup.

Tyler Huntley, the Miami Dolphins' new QB, made the Pro Bowl in 2022, when he passed for 658 yards. We're not making this up. How'd it happen?

Tyler Huntley, a practice squad player for the Baltimore Ravens, has been signed by the Miami Dolphins as a backup quarterback.

McDaniel added that he would let "Tua speak on Tua's career" when asked if the quarterback intended to continue playing.

A multi-week absence (at a minimum) is in store as a result, and the Dolphins added quarterback depth in the form of Tyler Huntley. Skylar Thompson will serve as Miami’s starter moving forward, but the team opted to add Huntley off the Ravens’ practice squad on Monday.

Don’t wait, Mike McDaniel. Be bold and use Tyler “Snoop” Huntley’s most dangerous assets — his legs — this week when the Miami Dolphins visit the Seattle Seahawks. The Dolphins will need to find ways to generate offense for however long Tua Tagovailoa is out.
