Tagovailoa spoke about how shocked he was upon finding out Hill was coming to the Miami Dolphins from the Kansas City Chiefs. He and Hill have developed a bond since the receiver arrived in late March. Tagovailoa has critics from local and national media pundits, but Hill has consistently had his back. Hill received death threats after his comments on his podcast about Tagovailoa being more accurate than Patrick Mahomes. He is ready for Tagovailoa to prove the doubters wrong, and Hill looks forward to showing people he did right to bet on himself. During the episode of his podcast, Hill told Tagovailoa the team “is following his lead” as the offensive signal-caller.

“We got to turn the city up,” Hill said to Tagovailoa. “We can’t be all about talk. We have to continue what we are doing. We have to let naysayers do their talking, motivate us, and we play ball on Sundays. Everything else will take care of itself. I believe in you, and I know everyone else believes in you. I’m saying it not only as your teammate; I’m saying it as your brother.”

Hill told Tagovailoa he is “that deal” at quarterback.

A brotherhood is forming between these two, and Dolphins fans are excited.
