Tua Tagovailoa does not play when it comes to people doubting his arm strength and accuracy.

National media pundits have questioned his ability to stretch plays downfield all offseason. Tagovailoa shut every hater down last week at Miami Dolphins training camp. He tossed a 65 to 70-yard bomb to Tyreek Hill in stride for a touchdown. The fans that attended the practice went crazy, and a video surfaced on social media. Tagovailoa’s pass traveled far downfield and fell in Hill’s hands despite good coverage. Hill has been pumping up his quarterback’s arm talent and accuracy throughout the summer.

In his third season, Miami expects excellence from Tagovailoa and wants to deliver.

He also displayed another beautiful deep ball to Jaylen Waddle for a touchdown.

As the Dolphins continue training camp, Tagovailoa looks forward to setting up his critics to change their thoughts about him for the upcoming season.
