Tyreek Hill has apparently had his apprehensions about taking part in with Tua Tagovailoa eased.
The star vast receiver – who admittedly had considerations surrounding Tagovailoa's passing capability upon being traded to Miami in March – is now wholly comfy catching balls from his new compatriot.
"[Tagovailoa's] probably the most correct quarterbacks within the NFL," Hill instructed reporters in late Could in the course of the Dolphins' voluntary OTAs. "At first, I assumed it was going to be one thing loopy – the ball going in every single place, however Tua really has most likely one of many prettiest balls I've ever caught in my life."
This previous week, Hill doubled down on his statements by likening Tagovailoa's accuracy to that of his former quarterback, Patrick Mahomes II.
"I’ve had an opportunity to see Tua throw the ball, to myself, however … he’s that dude, bro," Hill mentioned on the primary episode of his "It Wanted To Be Mentioned" podcast. The inaugural episode of the present, launched June 10, was referred to as "The Commerce."
"Like, what lots of people don’t know, like, I’m not simply saying this as a result of he’s my quarterback now … like, I’m not attempting to get extra targets proper now, however what I’m attempting to say is Tua is that deal, bro. … He’s correct. He can throw the deep ball, and he really goes by his reads, the place persons are like on Twitter like saying, ‘Oh, he doesn’t undergo his reads.’ Man, this dude is that dude."
Hill's cohost Julian Collins adopted by asking him to match Tagovailoa's arm energy to Mahomes'.
"Clearly, like I’m gonna go along with 15 because the strongest arm however so far as accuracy-wise, I’m going with Tua all day," Hill responded.
The "Cheetah" went on to element some new route timber he is rising accustomed to in The Magic Metropolis.
"I like the deep ball, however guess what although? I completed expanded my recreation," Hill mentioned. "So now I’m doing much more than simply the deep ball now. I’m doing intermediate routes. I’m doing brief routes. So now I really want a man who can simply get me the ball now, on a dagger route, on a nook route, on a shallow cross route. You understand, proper now, proper in my chest. So I can do the remainder. I make you look good now."
Hill then referenced a 2019 recreation through which he shined whereas Mahomes was sidelined by a knee harm.
"I simply need individuals to grasp I went for 150 with Matt Moore as my quarterback," he added. "I like you, Matt Moore. Versus the Minnesota Vikings. When you don’t do not forget that recreation, 150 and one landing with Matt Moore as my quarterback. And Tua T. is 10 Matt Moores. I like Matt Moore, however Tua T. is 10 Matt Moores."
It stays to be seen whether or not Hill can replicate the manufacturing he sustained final season with Mahomes, however a lot will definitely be anticipated from him and Tagovailoa based mostly on these statements.
