Tyreek Hill has spent much of his time since he joined the Miami Dolphins defending his quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, and he did it again on Monday on ESPN’s “First Take.”
“Zach Wilson is a dog, but I’d rather play with the most accurate quarterback in the NFL,” Hill said, and added that Tagovailoa is not your typical “gun slinger.”
“But if you were to pay attention to his game, everything is spot on, everything is pinpoint, the ball is on time, his fundamentals are on point,” Hill said. “He takes the time to make up in other areas and be great, and those other areas that other quarterbacks may not be good at. That’s all I gotta say on that. Tua, he’s a (expletive) heck of a competitor, he’s a helluva hard worker. So like I said, I’m excited to go to work with him, compete with him and battle with him.”
Hill added that a lot of people haven’t seen “young Tua’s full potential,” and that after Hill has practiced with Tagovailoa, and played golf with him, Hill sees a lot similarities with Patrick Mahomes.
