Everyone calls him Tua for a reason.
The name on his birth certificate is Tuanigamanuolepola Tagovailoa, and not even Eli Gold -- the longtime radio play-by-play announcer for Alabama -- could get that whole name out in one play.
Tua Tagovailoa could throw a touchdown pass and run for another score before yours truly could pronounce it correctly, so it was with great curiosity that an internet search was done to see whether the name had some special Samoan meaning. Like man of mythical skills. Samoan Superman. Hawaiian He-Man.
Two sites couldn't identify Tuanigamanuolepola, so it apparently was just a name his mom and dad liked.
