Miami Dolphins: 3 reasons Tua Tagovailoa will be a top 10 QB in 2021
By Jeremy Klump
3. Tua Tagovailoa is finally healthy
I mentioned Tua Tagovailoa being in the best shape of his life, and a significant reason for that is because he is finally healthy. It was clear that Tagovailoa was not 100% in his rookie season, and I will never understand why the Miami Dolphins played him.
Tagovailoa was recovering from one of the worst injuries I have ever seen in my entire life, and some did not think he would ever play football again. Adding to that, Tagovailoa had a few other injuries at Alabama. It always seemed like he was rehabbing an injury and working on getting healthy instead of working on his craft.
Well, this offseason has been a lot different for Tagovailoa, and it is already showing. Tagovailoa looks incredible moving on the field, and you can see that he is officially 100%. The fact that he was able to work on his craft and improving his body has shown up tremendously during training camp.
You can see the difference in definition he has in his body, and it is easy to look at him and conclude that he looks healthy. Last season he looked weak and injured, and this season he looks strong and healthy.
When a player has to worry about an injury, it impacts how they play the game. And for Tagovailoa, it was clear that he did not have a clear head yet from his hip injury. In 2021, Tagovailoa will be playing with no worries of his injury on his mind, which will be a big reason he becomes a top ten quarterback.
