This coming NFL season is a huge one for the Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The third-year starter may finally have the right coach and the right weapons surrounding him to take his team to the playoffs.

One of those new additions is former Kansas City Chiefs wideout Tyreek Hill who signed with the Dolphins this offseason and apparently, the pair are starting to make some noise at OTAs this week with Tua throwing two long passes to Hill Thursday, catching the eye of those in attendance.
Afterward, Tua took the opportunity to push back on his critics who have said that he’s not cut out to be the Dolphins’ starter.
“Twitter warriors, keyboard warriors, whatever you want to call them, they’re not out here practicing with us working hard,” said Tua to reporters. “I don’t know if you guys recorded that last one to Tyreek but that looked like money.”

Tua has taken a lot of heat these past two seasons, not only from fans and the media but Dolphins management as well as they considered trading the quarterback to Houston for Deshaun Watson. Now, however, Tua has all the tools to be the one laughing in the end.

If things are clicking now during the offseason, you have to wonder what this new year will bring for the young quarterback and that has to excite Dolphin fans.
