Former Super Bowl champion not “buying hype” around Tua Tagovailoa and Dolphins

He is about to be three years removed from a serious hip injury that had people questioning if he would play football again.

Tua Tagovailoa battled through medical mishaps at Alabama to become a Southeastern Conference Champion, College Football Playoff National Champion, Heisman finalist, and a first-round pick. Before he enters his third season with the Miami Dolphins, Tagovailoa is as healthy as ever. His body looks stronger than what it did at Alabama, he has a coaching staff wired into him, and he has a cast of playmakers ready to do damage. Tagovailoa has the confidence to have the Dolphins shock the NFL, but some people refuse to buy into him being a successful quarterback.
