New Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill made an interesting claim as he begins to build a rapport with Tua Tagovailoa after years with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hill lauded Tagovailoa’s accuracy in an episode of the "It Needed to be Said" podcast featuring Hill and friend Julius Collins.

"I’ve had a chance to see Tua throw the ball, to myself, but … he’s that due, bro. Like, what a lot of people don’t know, like, I’m not just saying this because he’s my quarterback now … Like, I’m not trying to get more targets right now, but what I’m trying to say is Tua is that deal, bro," Hill said.

"Bro, he has a heck of an arm, bro. He’s accurate. He can throw the deep ball, and he actually goes through his reads, where people are like on Twitter like saying, ‘Oh, he doesn’t go through his reads.’ Man, this dude is that dude."

Tagovailoa caught some flak on social media recently for a wobbly throw to Hill during practice. The Dolphins quarterback later slammed "Twitter warriors" critiquing him.

When asked about who was more accurate between Tagovailoa and Mahomes, Hill went above and beyond praising his new quarterback.

"Obviously, like I’m gonna go with 15 as the strongest arm, but, as far as accuracy-wise, I’m going with Tua all day," Hill said, adding he prefers passes to the numbers rather than trying to track deep balls.
