Tua Tagovailoa Clapped Back at ‘Twitter Warriors’ Thursday

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has received his fair share of online criticism ever since joining the NFL—specifically because of his arm strength. And the 24-year-old decided to take a shot at those who he called “keyboard warriors.”

“For me, it’s just zone that out,” he said Thursday. “I mean, we come out to practice, everyone else … Twitter warriors, you know, keyboard warriors, whatever you want to call them—they’re not out here practicing with us working hard.”

Tagovailoa is entering his third season with Miami since being selected with the No. 5 pick in the 2020 NFL draft out of Alabama.
