No one is calling Tua Tagovailoa a young Tom Brady, but a former Patriots executive believes there’s a noteworthy similarity between the two.
Scott Pioli, New England’s former director of player personnel, said Tagovailoa’s arm strength will be “just fine” and used Brady’s career arc to prove his point. The Dolphins quarterback was 23rd in the NFL last season in yards per pass attempt, but Pioli isn’t overly concerned by that trend.
“First five years of Tom Brady’s career, critics said over and over that he can’t throw the deep ball,” Pioli told the Miami Herald‘s Barry Jackson.
