Tim Tebow believes the Miami Dolphins got a franchise-changing player in Tua Tagovailoa.

The former NFL quarterback praised the No. 5 overall draft pick Wednesday on ESPN's First Take:

"I think Tua is one of the most accurate, gifted quarterbacks I've ever seen coming out of college," Tebow said (h/t Kevin Flaherty of 247Sports). "I think he has a chance to totally change the franchise. He is a remarkable passer, remarkably great kid."

Tagovailoa completed 69.3 percent of his career passes at Alabama, totaling 33 touchdown passes with just three interceptions in nine games before suffering a season-ending hip injury in 2019.
