Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa shared with Fox News Digital some of the factors that have helped him and his team take a big leap forward.
Tua Tagovailoa has come into his own as quarterback of the Miami Dolphins in the last two seasons. Tagovailoa showed what he’s capable of when he doesn’t have to compete for the starting job each week and – at least this year – showed what he can do when he’s 100% healthy. For the fifth-year quarterback, he chalked it up to at least two things that have helped him out tremendously: the weapons put around him and the head-coaching style of Mike McDaniel.
The Dolphins traded for Tyreek Hill, signed Raheem Mostert and drafted Jaylen Waddle and De’Von Achane in the last two years. It’s helped the Dolphins go from the top 25 in yards and scoring to the top 10 in each category, including first in yards and second in points in 2023. 'It’s been all of it. I would be to say it was one person and miss out the other people. But for sure, the guys that I’m surrounded with help me take my game to another level.
Tagovailoa highlighted McDaniel’s approach. 'Now, with our head coach … I think the thing that he’s done that’s been really good is he has a heightened sense of emotional intelligence in reaching out to guys. … Coaching is trying to get guys to do the same thing at once,' he told Fox News Digital. 'But some guys don’t learn the same way as others.
He led the NFL with 4,624 passing yards and had 29 touchdown passes as well. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
