Yes, that is right, Tua Tagovailoa will wear the number one on his jersey as he begins his NFL career in 2020. After all the speculation, social media gifs, and memes, he apparently has selected one.
Generally reserved for kickers, number one doesn’t have a big history for the Miami Dolphins. It has been worn by four players. First, Garo Yepremium wore number one, and then it sat silently in the equipment room until 1988 when Tony Franklin wore it for one season. Back into the cage for another 12 years.
In 2000, punter Matt Turk wore the number until 2004, and then, again, it sat unused until 2017 when Cody Parkey wore it for one season.
