Miami Dolphins WR defends Tua Tagovailoa, says he’s ‘one of the best’
The Miami Dolphins drafted former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with pick No. 5 in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft. After putting him in an uncomfortable situation as a rookie who started in the middle of the season less than a year removed from a devastating hip injury, he now looks forward to improving in year No. 2.
His rookie season was far from terrible, but certainly not pretty.
What he managed to show was the potential for growth, and that’s what Dolphins wide receiver Lynn Bowden jr. claims has happened this offseason.
The two have trained together over the offseason in South Florida, and Bowden claims Tagovailoa is looking a lot different.
“When he lets it loose and he’s being himself, we’ll win every game,” said Bowden. “When he’s feeling himself and he’s moving and doing his thing, Tua is one of the best quarterbacks, literally around. And people don’t know that yet.”
There’s no way to tell how different he really is until he takes the field for the 2021 season in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins.
