Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa wears Ryan Fitzpatrick jersey, cherishes learning from veteran QB

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sat down in a chair for his Thursday news conference, hoping the camera broadcasting the Zoom interview could capture his outfit.

Tagovailoa slipped on a Ryan Fitzpatrick, No. 14 Dolphins jersey, hoping to channel some of his own charming personality in the manner of one of the NFL’s most affable players.

“I thought I could break (the) ice making you guys laugh, wearing a Fitz jersey because Fitz, he’s very personable as well,” Tagovailoa said with a grin.

Roughly two weeks after Fitzpatrick shared his affection for Tagovailoa, the Dolphins rookie shared his appreciation for the veteran he will learn from in training camp and this season in what might be the most amicable quarterback competition in the NFL.
