Former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer told Les Carpenter of the Washington Post that Tua Tagovailoa's father, Galu, reached out to him to train the Alabama quarterback ahead of this year's NFL draft, saying he needed someone who "would not kiss his Tua's butt."
While Dilfer initially balked, he eventually agreed to work with Tagovailoa, under a few conditions: The training would be done secretly at Nashville's Lipscomb Academy football facility, with no social media posts or self-promotion.
Dilfer said he wanted their work together to emulate how Rocky Balboa trained in isolation in Rocky IV.
