Following months of speculation, Tua Tagovailoa landed with the Miami Dolphins after being selected No. 5 overall in the 2020 NFL draft on Thursday.

The Alabama quarterback was one of the biggest stories of the event, showcasing impressive talent on the field during his college career but creating questions about his durability after dealing with hip, ankle and hand injuries.

He will try to earn the starting job with Miami, although Ryan Fitzpatrick will compete to be QB1 to start the season.

If Tagovailoa does see the field as a rookie, he will be challenged right away with some tough defenses on the 2020 schedule.
