The native Hawaiian is committed to elevating his teammates and proving critics wrong. He is seeing the success of Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, and Kyler Murray, but Tagovailoa feels he is good too. He’s been working out non-stop with his teammate, Lynn Bowden Jr., and his training team is getting him stronger for his third season.

Miami has to draft receivers, offensive linemen, and running backs to help Tagovailoa.

He’s dealt with the injuries, but the quality that makes him special is there. Tagovailoa elevated teammates at Alabama, he emerged off the bench as a freshman to win a national championship, and he set single-season school records. He possesses the capability to be an elite signal-caller in the pros, but now it’s time for Tagovailoa to show it. Coach McDaniel has provided the loyalty to be all in on the former Crimson Tide star. Tagovailoa is preparing to take his game to the next level in the coming fall.
