After Pleading the Fifth, Tyreek Hill Violates Tua Tagovailoa for Patrick Mahomes as Cheetah Back-Tracks Dolphins QB Praise for ESPY Winner

Patrick Mahomes or Tua Tagovailoa? It might be hard for Tyreek Hill to rank these quarterbacks one above the other. However, he did it this time!

Last month, Hill traveled around the country to train young kids in football for his Soul Runner Speed Academy camp. And during a visit to Rochester, New York for the same purpose, he had to tackle the question of choosing between the two quarterbacks. Now, generally, the Miami Dolphins’ Cheetah doesn’t seem to fumble on the gridiron, but that time he failed to choose (given the circumstance that Mahomes is his former quarterback and arguably the current top in the league, and Tagovailoa is his current QB and a close friend). But this time, he didn’t step away from the answering limelight!

Tyreek Hill chose Patrick Mahomes as number 1

The last time when Tyreek Hill was asked, according to News 8 WROC AJ Feldman, he chose to say, “He said there were a lot of cameras around, so he just answered that he likes them both and pleaded the fifth.” But till what time could he avoid the pressure? Eventually, he had to share his answer. During a recent public Q&A round on his official Instagram account, the Cheetah came live and responded to the question of ranking “the top 5 QBs in the league” on the spot. He paused for a bit and started with Patrick Mahomes at number 1, and then immediately lined Tua Tagovailoa on the number 2 spot.

Ranking out the names of other top three quarterbacks, Hill paused and answered, “Lamar [Jackson], Dak [Prescott], and Baker Mayfield.” Well, he didn’t explain the reason for his ranking, but fans arguably think that given Mahomes’ recent Super Bowl win as well as his ESPY win for the 2023 season’s Best NFL Player, Hill might have named him on top.

However, this answer appeared somewhat strange to Tagovailoa’s fans, as earlier Hill praised his current QB as the most accurate quarterback in the league.
