Not only are Miami Dolphins fans excited about landing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the 2020 NFL draft, his former coach is also happy about the destination.

"I was really, really hopeful that Miami would take him," Alabama coach Nick Saban said, per Barry Jackson and Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald. "Tua's such a great person. Really was a very, very good leader here. One of the most popular players that we've ever had with our fans and our fanbase. I think he will be a great face of the organization there.
