LOOK: Twitter reacts to Tua Tagovailoa’s explosive day at training camp
Former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is gearing up for his third season in the NFL since being drafted by the Miami Dolphins at No. 5 overall in 2020.
Heading into 2022, there is an immense amount of pressure on Tagovailoa to stay healthy and perform at a high level. The front office drafted his former Alabama wide receiver, Jaylen Waddle, in 2021 and brought in some stellar free agents: speedster receiver Tyreek Hill and one of the nation’s best offensive tackles in Terron Armstead just to name a few.
The pieces are there for Tagovailoa, but can he lead the Dolphins team to an impressive 2022 season and silence the doubters that bring every aspect of his game down? He certainly showed that he’s capable of it at today’s Dolphins training camp, which was open to the public.
Here’s what Twitter had to say about his impressive day at practice.
Tua to Tyreek for a DEEP one

Alabama Tua is BACK
Tua Tagovailoa looking sensational, reminiscent of his Alabama days. If we see that player the Miami Dolphins are one of the most dangerous teams in the NFL.#FinsUp

Tua practicing at an elite level
I was standing behind the end zone for this pass, directly in line with Tyreek’s route. Tyreek was absolutely flying when he got separation at the end… and Tua dropped it in the bucket. That’s easily the best deep pass I’ve ever seen him throw. https://t.co/s7C3ueOooc

Dolphins fans are ready
Loud “Tua, Tua, Tua” chants from packed #Dolphins crowd at camp as the team moves into 1-on-1 deep shot portion of practice.
Practice is lit with fans here. Loud chants everytime Tua completes a pass. Crowd erupted after Braylon Sanders 1-handed grab and Griddy after completion.

Placement matters and the chemistry grows
Tyreek changes direction on a route against Igbinoghene creating a good deal of separation. Tua lays it out for a big run after the catch – another explosive play

And people were saying Tyreek downgraded at QB
Tua hit the best looking deep ball to Tyreek Hill you will ever see. I am sure the team will have that one on their feed.
