​The Miami Dolphins may be taking a deserved break now, but by month’s end they’ll be back at the Baptist Health Training Complex for their first training camp under new head coach Jeff Hafley. With the influx of fresh talent on the roster entering 2026, there should be plenty of compelling battles to watch during camp. Yet, the one position that typically dictates the team’s ceiling—quarterback—likely won’t be the source of competition for the starting job.
Before players report, here’s a snapshot of the Dolphins’ quarterback depth heading into camp. The club gave Willis a three-year, $67.5 million contract after he spent two seasons with the Tennessee Titans and two with the Green Bay Packers. Willis had limited opportunities in Tennessee, where he was a third-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of Liberty, and showed signs of progress while filling in for Jordan Love in Green Bay. In his NFL career so far, he has appeared in 22 games with 6 starts, posting a 3-3 record, completing 67.7 percent of his passes for 1,322 yards with 6 touchdowns and 3 interceptions, and adding 405 rushing yards with 4 rushing touchdowns. His expected role: starter.
Ewers, one-time national top quarterback prospect, saw his college career split between Ohio State and Texas, a path that led him to slip to the seventh round of the 2025 draft, where the Dolphins selected him with the 231st overall pick. He began his rookie season on the bench but stepped in to relieve Tua Tagovailoa late in the year. In four NFL games, with two starts, he has a 1-2 record, a 66.3 percent completion rate, 622 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, and 3 interceptions. His expected role: backup.
Miller was among the elite performers in the FCS during his time at North Dakota State from 2020 through 2024. He earned All-MVFC honors twice and was named an FCS All-American once. He contributed to two FCS national championship teams, earning MVP honors in the latter. His standout collegiate résumé helped him land with the Las Vegas Raiders in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft; after spending the entire season on the practice squad, he joined Miami this January. College stats include 67 games (56 starts) with a 45-11 record, 69.3 percent completion, 9,720 passing yards, 81 passing touchdowns, and 19 interceptions, along with 2,277 rushing yards and 48 rushing touchdowns. His expected role: third string or practice squad.
Gronowski was a standout in the FCS at South Dakota State from 2020 through 2024, earning All-MVFC honors four times and FCS All-American honors once. He played on two FCS national championship teams and was MVP in both outings. After transferring to Iowa and earning the starting job there in 2025, Miami signed him as an undrafted free agent this year. College stats show 68 games (68 starts) with a 58-10 record, 63.6 percent completion, 12,049 passing yards, 103 passing touchdowns, 27 interceptions, plus 2,312 rushing yards and 53 rushing touchdowns. His expected role: third-string option.
In short, the Dolphins’ quarterback room has depth and potential, but the real headline remains: how Hafley shapes the competition and how the new talent integrates into a system designed to maximize the team’s ceilings in 2026.
