Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill continues to show his support for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Hill explained why he believes in Tagovailoa’s arm strength ahead of the 2022 season, and he took a bit of a shot at former Miami Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore, who played with Hill on the Kansas City Chiefs.
Tyreek Hill on @gmfb on the idea that Tua doesn't have the arm to excel with Hill 🗣️
"I just want people to understand that I went for 150 [yards] with Matt Moore as my QB versus the Minnesota Vikings… I love Matt Moore, but Tua T[agovailoa] is 10 Matt Moores"

Moore played for the Dolphins from the 2011 season through the 2017 campaign before he spent the 2019 season with Hill in Kansas City. He was a solid backup quarterback during his career, but he clearly doesn’t have the talent that Tagovailoa, a former first-round pick, currently possesses.
Dolphins fans have to love Hill constantly defending his quarterback, as Tagovailoa has drawn a lot of criticism through his first two seasons in the NFL.
During the 2021 season, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft appeared in 13 games for the Dolphins. He started 12 games and threw for 2,653 yards and 16 touchdowns.
The Dolphins have made a point of surrounding Tagovailoa with more talent ahead of the 2022 season, and Hill is the biggest offseason addition for the team’s offense.
Hill has made a name for himself as arguably the best deep threat in the NFL after playing with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, and the Dolphins are hoping the star receiver can help Tagovailoa become one of the better downfield passers in the league.
Last season, Hill caught 111 passes for 1,239 yards and nine touchdowns for the Chiefs. If Tagovailoa can stay healthy, he and Hill could form a dynamic duo in Miami’s offense in 2022.
