T. D. (mascot)

T.D. is the official mascot of the National Football League's Miami Dolphins franchise. The Miami Dolphins official website jokingly states that T.D. was signed on April 18, 1997 by former Dolphins head coach Jimmy Johnson as a free agent.

T.D. first appeared at the Dolphins' home game was August 10, 1997, against the Chicago Bears and his first Dolphins home playoff game was January 2, 1999 in a win against Buffalo. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2004 and was the first NFL mascot to participate in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, in 2001. He was invited to Hong Kong to participate in the 2005 Chinese New Year’s Day Parade.
