LSU football draftee will have the “trash talk” advantage over new teammate

The Miami Dolphins used a sixth round pick (No. 185 overall) in the 2020 NFL Draft to select LSU football long snapper Blake Ferguson.

This probably won’t come as a surprise, but drafting a long snapper wasn’t the pick that garnered all the headlines for the Dolphins on draft weekend.

Instead, it was their selection of Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with the No. 5 overall pick that all the analysts were talking about.

Shocking, right?

Yeah, I didn’t think so.

Just a few months ago, Ferguson and Tagovailoa were opponents on the field.

When LSU beat Alabama in November, Ferguson was one of the first Tigers players to walk across the field and offer Tagovailoa a friendly hug.
