Weberman, a Florida native who has three posters of Tagovailoa in his room, was granted a wish to spend a day with his favorite team and player.
Weberman was signed to a one-day contract by the Dolphins and spent the day around the team's practice facility. His family was greeted by legendary former Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino and given a bevy of gear. He also played catch with Tagovailoa, throwing a pass as far as 20 yards.
