Tua Tagovailoa has a new WR1 to throw to heading into the 2022 season with the Miami Dolphins.
Former Kansas City Chiefs star WR Tyreek Hill, perhaps the fastest player in the NFL, joins a Dolphins receiving corps that already contains speedy former Alabama WR Jaylen Waddle.
But, on Wednesday, Tagovailoa took some heat on Twitter after a video was posted by the Dolphins’ team Twitter account showing him underthrowing the speedy Hill:

As you can imagine, social media had plenty of jokes about Tagovailoa’s underthrow, questioning why the Dolphins would post that video:
Tyreek over there fair catching that!

Camera work tried hiding the fact that Tyreek was basically at a dead stop when he caught it ? https://t.co/VI1o88Ro4x

The @MiamiDolphins keep posting videos of Tua Tagovailoa under throwing Tyreek Hill, and you have to think it’s on purpose at this point. #Dolphins https://t.co/lhve6XEgxQ

Obviously, this is a workout before the NFL preseason even starts, so there’s plenty of time for the Tagovailoa-Hill connection to blossom. The Dolphins will need it to improve in order to compete for a playoff spot in 2022.
