Tua Tagovailoa celebrated his 25th birthday early with one of his biggest supporters.

Tagovailoa was born on March 2, 1998, but the former Alabama quarterback decided to pop some Beliare Rose bottles over the weekend. As he prepares to show the Miami Dolphins organization he can stay healthy to be its franchise quarterback, Tagovailoa posed in a photo with Rick Ross. Ross, a Miami native and Grammy Award-nominated rapper, was very excited when his Dolphins selected Tagovailoa at No. 5 overall in the 2020 NFL Draft. He encountered concussions last season, but the 2017 College Football Playoff National Champion showed the NFL how good he can be before the injuries set in.

Tagovailoa posted 3,548 passing yards and 25 touchdowns.
