Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill recently shared his views on his teammate and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The former Super Bowl-winning wideout believes Tagovailoa has a tougher job on the field. Hill admitted he considers calling and remembering plays during games a challenge. While Hill’s claims are bound to raise eyebrows among the Dolphins fans, the franchisee will bank on their chemistry in the upcoming season.
During a recent episode of his podcast, ‘It Needed To Be Said,’ Hill stated, “Man it’s definitely tough to be a quarterback man because I can remember some practices in our OTAs man. Well, like I didn’t know the play I was looking at you, like can you tell me to play and he’ll have to tell me to route. So that quarterback you definitely got to know every route on the field and where that person has to line up man.”
