It feels harder to take the Miami Dolphins seriously after Tyreek Hill’s absurd claims that Tua Tagovailoa is a more accurate passer than Patrick Mahomes. Just look at the facts — Mahomes is one of the best quarterbacks in the league right now, and teams are doing all they can to compete with Kansas City due to his ability to score in as few as 13 seconds.
Tua, on the other hand, has sat through nearly two years of speculation on whether or not his team could land Deshaun Watson to replace him.
There’s still time for him to prove he belongs in the NFL and adding Hill is going to help, but let’s not compare him to a league MVP until he proves he’s the answer for his own team.
Looking beyond what Hill said, this team isn’t bad overall. They have two great receivers in Hill and Jaylen Waddle and their No. 3 guy, Cedrick Wilson, is also a solid option. Throw in Mike Gesicki and an improved running game and they could make some noise.

13. Las Vegas Raiders
Davante Adams was a huge addition for the Las Vegas Raiders who suddenly boast an explosive offense. The one thing they were missing in 2021 was that No. 1 wideout, and with Adams there, the sky is the limit for this team.
Defensively, they’re banking on the addition of Chandler Jones and Denzel Perryman to allow them to slow done some of the high-powered offenses they will face in the AFC West — and they will need this to happen because they’re a good team but after Russell Wilson joined the Broncos, they might be the worst in their division.
That’s a testament to how good the West is, rather than a shot at Vegas.
