All Eyes on Tua Tagovailoa's Ankle as He Balances Rehab With Whirlwind Heisman Weekend

NEW YORK — The most watched left ankle in college football has quite a ride.

“It’s a four-wheeler,” Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said of the scooter that will help him negotiate the streets of the Big Apple this weekend with his lower left leg—with its recently surgically repaired left ankle—in a boot. Tagovailoa has no plans, however, to take it off-road when he returns to Tuscaloosa. “It doesn’t have four-wheel drive,” he cracked. “Just two-wheel high and two-wheel low.”

The man standing next to Tagovailoa pointed to the Alabama sticker in the middle of a wheel. “You did customize the rims,” Jeff Allen said.
