Tyreek Hill is not the only wide receiver for Miami pumping up Tua Tagovailoa.
Jaylen Waddle, a first-round pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, was Tagovailoa’s teammate at the University of Alabama from 2018 to 2019. He caught several touchdowns from Tagovailoa in college and is excited to continue the success in the pros. Waddle was at Xaiven Howard’s youth football camp Sunday in Houston. He got the opportunity to pump his quarterback in his hometown.

“Tua is great,” Waddle said. “I think a great leader, real confident, got a lot of swag to him. Tua is going to be alright.”

He has endured much criticism in the offseason, but Tagovailoa’s teammates have had his back. Waddle turned in a good rookie season for the Dolphins, but he’s looking forward to a marquee second year with Tagovailoa.
