Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has responded to Tua Tagovailoa’s recent comments about him, admitting his teammate was right.
The Dolphins quarterback called Hill out, suggesting he should take accountability after claiming to want out of Miami and indicating he needs to rebuild trust.
Speaking to reporters at training camp on Friday, the star wideout said the comments were necessary.
“I think Tua’s comments were needed,” he remarked. “He’s obviously the leader of our team, so he sets the standard. I’m just trying to be the best teammate and best version of myself for this team every day.”
Tua’s grievance stems from Hill’s post after Week 18 last season in which he wrote, “I’m out, bro,” after the Fins missed the playoffs.
The post came after Hill removed himself from the team’s final game of the season.
“You don’t just come back from that with ‘My bad.’ You’ve got to work that relationship up,” Tua said earlier this month.
Hill has had a rough offseason, not least because of his social media outburst and possible fractured ties in the locker room. He also went through domestic issues, including the filing of a divorce.
While usually reserved, Tagovailoa was pretty blunt in his assessment of the situation. He held his teammate accountable in public, letting him know that “Nobody’s exempt from the standard.”
Both players are looking to bounce back in 2025, with Hill experiencing a subdued campaign in 2024, while Tua has been struggling with concussion concerns, having suffered multiple head injuries over the last few years.
Time will tell whether the latter’s comments strengthen the bond in the locker room or negatively impact chemistry.
