Before the 2019 college football season got off, Tua Tagovailoa was a quarterback that every school wanted, and it would be his final season with the Alabama Crimson Tide.
“Tank for Tua” had gotten underway. However, he lost his draft stock versus Mississippi State due to a severe hip injury and a broken nose. Not to mention, the draft process completely missed the start of the coronavirus epidemic. For the first time, the whole draft was conducted virtually.
The majority of draft analysts thought that Tagovailoa would be selected early in the first round despite his injury; it was simply a matter of when. First off the board was Joe Burrow, then Chase Young, Jeff Okudah, and Andrew Thomas. Next, the Dolphins made a choice.
