After being a national champion and winning over a fanbase in a first-class way, supporters of Alabama football cannot wait to see what Tua Tagovailoa becomes in the pros.
All the news he received on his rehab from a dislocated right hip had been positive, and the final piece of information came on Thursday via Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. According to him, Tagovailoa received his own Combine re-check and the reviews were ‘overwhelmingly positive.’
Rapoport said the former Alabama quarterback has ‘fulfilled his medical requirements.’

This was the native Hawaiian’s goal from the moment the process started.
Despite it being five months since the injury, Tagovailoa’s faith and work ethic has him as more of a reward than a risk at this point.
