He is not comfortable with a 100-yard, five catch game. He always wants more. He has shown that throughout the year. He is still asking how he can improve on a week to week basis. That’s what he’s done.

“The stats clearly show that, and him being awarded that award is a testament to how important he has been to the team.”

Waddle was tied for seventh place in the NFL with 99 receptions and 24th with 988 receiving yards. He finished Miami’s initial drive with four catches for 25 yard and a touchdown, his sixth touchdown catch this season.
