Tua Tagovailoa entered Monday’s news conference with a fascinating array of options on how to handle his future.
Among the menu options Tagovailoa faced: entering the NFL draft, returning to Alabama to play football, returning to rehab and train — what might have been an interesting test case for future stars sitting out entire seasons before entering the draft — and the least-discussed (but most fascinating) option, staying for the time being and considering the supplemental draft held over the summer.
The drama was over fairly quickly, and it was probably the most predictable option: The Alabama quarterback said that he was ready to declare for the 2020 NFL draft.
