Ryan Timothy Tannehill III (born July 27, 1988) is an American professional football quarterback who is a free agent. He played college football for the Texas A&M Aggies, playing wide receiver until his junior year, and was selected eighth overall by the Miami Dolphins in the 2012 NFL draft.
Tannehill spent his first seven seasons as the Dolphins' primary starter before being traded to the Tennessee Titans in 2019. Initially serving as a backup, Tannehill became the starter midway through the season and led the team to the AFC Championship Game. He was also named NFL Comeback Player of the Year and selected to the Pro Bowl. During his next two seasons, Tannehill helped the Titans clinch consecutive division titles. However, injuries and inconsistent play the following two years saw him lose his starting job in 2023.
