Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa opened his jersey from his high school tenure with the Saint Louis Crusaders and promptly put it on. Calais Campbell and Malik Washington also had warm reactions to receiving their jerseys, with Washington proclaiming, “This is vintage!”

If Walker Jr. had gifted himself a jersey, it would be from his high school, Monsignor Edward Pace in Miami. From there, the linebacker went on to play for Northwestern, outside Chicago, and earned All-American honors multiple times.

He was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in 2017 and played there for four seasons before moving on to the Cleveland Browns, and then the Dolphins, where he signed this past March. Walker Jr. has recorded 30 solo tackles and one sack this season with Miami, where the team has a 6-8 rec.

The Dolphins, who are second in the AFC East, next face the San Francisco 49ers on Dec. 22.
