Tua Tagovailoa’s deep ball has been a big talking point since he got to the NFL.
Some pundits have said that he can’t throw the long ball and he got another question about it after practice on Wednesday. He was asked whether people still say that he can’t throw it long and had a great response.
“I don’t care. 466,” Tagovailoa said.
Reporter: “Do you think people still say you can’t throw deep?
Tua: “I don’t care. 466.”

The “466” is in reference to how many passing yards he had against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. He also had three touchdowns in that game as he led the Dolphins to a 36-34 win.
If he can play at or near that level for the rest of this season, the Dolphins are going to be a really tough out.
Tagovailoa will try and get the Dolphins to 2-0 overall when they play the New England Patriots this Sunday on Sunday Night Football.
Kickoff will be at 8:20 p.m. ET.
