Tyreek Hill Fights Battle Against NFL Legend ‘Hating’ on Tua Tagovailoa After ‘Better Than Patrick Mahomes’ Narrative Begins Fading Away

This offseason brought fortunes to the careers of several wide receivers in the league. Not only did it set a new benchmark, but also helped the franchises to acquire some top prospects. One amongst them happens to be the Miami Dolphins, who benefited by recruiting Tyreek Hill into the roster. However, a drawback that most of the netizens pointed out is the absence of an impactful quarterback like Patrick Mahomes to coordinate with.

Recently, there have been several discussions on how well the team could utilize the talents of Tyreek Hill with a third-year quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa. While Hill has been heaping praise for Tua since a long-time NFL legend, Keyshawn Johnson made a bold statement in this regard. He believes that Tua isn’t an effective signal-caller able to unleash the true essence of having the Cheetah on the roster.

He claimed that even the Dolphins aren’t buying Tua as the franchise quarterback. “I’m not sold on Tua, and I know the Miami Dolphins aren’t sold on Tua,” Keyshawn said in an interview.

This statement comes just days after Tyreek Hill said that Tagovailoa is the most accurate QB in the NFL. Although he didn’t make any comparisons with his former quarterback (Patrick Mahomes), this statement certainly raised many eyebrows and forced the veterans like Keyshawn to respond.

As soon as this interview went public, Hill came forward and wrote, “I understand hating to a certain degree, but this ain’t it,” on Twitter. After parting ways with the Kansas City squad, Hill’s future in Miami always remained a matter of concern among the fans.
