Tua Tagovailoa, for better and worse, has embodied the uncertainty of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Long believed to be the best quarterback in the class before an injury-plagued finish to his collegiate career plus the rise of Joe Burrow, he had to result to a guerilla marketing campaign of sorts to sway the decision-makers doubting the long-term viability of his surgically repaired hip. From a private pro day video to numerous pre-draft nuggets about his movement and flexibility, it seemed Tagovailoa had some convincing to do.
As it turned out, his “fall” only lasted four picks, and he landed in the perfect place.
