More pressure has been placed on teams in the top-10 of the NFL Draft.
Former Alabama quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa has officially been cleared medically to start working out for April’s venue. After suffering a dislocated right hip in the 2019 season versus Mississippi State, Tagovailoa is ready to show pro teams what he can do on the field.
#Bama QB Tua Tagovailoa had his four-month scans today on his dislocated hip, and sources described them as “very good with no concerns.” Essentially, as positive as possible. Accordingly, he’ll now begin the slow progression of activity to get his body ready for play.

The native Hawaiian will have his pro day on April 9 in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
He will have his hand print and cleat print cemented at Denny Chimes as a permanent team captain from last season on Saturday, April 18, prior the Crimson Tide’s annual A-Day Game.
