When the Miami Dolphins signed Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs, they made him the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL, so the Georgia native canāt go unnoticed in the upcoming season. At least he is already doing so with his comments, this time about his now teammate, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Hill has a big challenge ahead of him, for while the Dolphins are one of the NFLās most charismatic franchises, they carry the baggage of only having been a truly elite team the two consecutive seasons in which they won the Super Bowlā¦almost 50 years ago.
Thus, both Tyreek Hillās contribution and that of the other piece of the gear needed for the Miami Dolphins to climb to the leagueās elite, Tua Tagovailoa, will be essential for the upcoming season, in which immediate results will be demanded from both of them.
Tyreek Hill points out the countdown facing Tua Tagovailoa
Tyreek Hill was a front-line witness to how an NFL promise became reality. Selected in the first round of the 2017 Draft, it took Patrick Mahomes only 3 seasons to live up to the predictions that he was a player with the potential to become a star in the league and led the Kansas City Chiefs to two Super Bowls by winning one. A relatively similar case to that of Tua Tagovailoa.
The 24-year-old native of Hawaii was drafted into the NFL by the Miami Dolphins in 2020, also in the first round. However, unlike Mahomes, he has not quite been able to make real the vaticions that labeled him as the savior of a franchise in need of success. In this regard, his new teammate and partner, Tyreek Hill, pointed out the deadline he must meet to avoid being obliterated.
āNFL only gives you two or three years to be a succesfull quarterback, specially if you are a first roundpickā¦ is basically his last yearjust to show people what he have got.ā statedHill in a chat in his podcast It Neededto be Said.
As for how much talent Tagovailoa had available to be able to be boosted and meet the NFLās expectations of him, Tyreek Hill didnāt hold back in comparing his case to that of Patrick Mahomes, his former teammate with the Kansas City Chiefs.
āWhen I go out to practiceeach and every dayI see the sameas that team (Mahomesā Kansas City team in 2018) as explosive, as dynamic. We have the same weapons and maybe even moreā. sharedthe 28 years old wide receiver. This season will reveal if Tyreek Hillās forecast about Tua Tagovailoa deadline were truth or not.
