After months of speculation, the Dolphins have found their hope-to-be franchise-changing quarterback. In the opening round of the 2020 NFL Draft Thursday night, Miami used one of their three first-round selections on Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa, selecting the left-handed gunslinger with the fifth overall pick.
The Los Angeles Chargers, a pick later, took Oregon’s Justin Herbert. Tagovailoa has endured numerous injuries throughout his three-year collegiate career at Alabama, including a season-ending hip injury against Mississippi State this past November of 2019.
“Man, it was a dream come true, to be able to have this opportunity. This is special for not just me but my family as well,” Tagovailoa said to reporters.
