The NFL Combine is in full swing as players are trying to show off their skills in front of scouts and have excellent interviews to persuade a team to take a chance on selecting them in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Former Alabama star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was a top name to be taken early in the draft, but then he suffered a season-ending hip injury in the 2019 college season, but it has reportedly healed about as well as could be expected.
The team most-connected to Tua since the start of the 2019 season was the Miami Dolphins, but things got off to a weird start when the Sun Sentinel reported Tagovailoa left his meeting with the Dolphins feeling “uncertain.”
“After all the Tank for Tua talk surrounding him and the Dolphins the past 13 months, Tagovailoa believed the Dolphins would have the same amount of excitement as him for their first official meeting together Wednesday.
Instead, Tagovailoa was surprised he received a bit of a cold shoulder. He left feeling uncertain about the Dolphins and their desire for him to be their next franchise quarterback, a source told the South Florida Sun Sentinel on Friday.”
Maybe the team is not trusting of that hip going forward as many other reports have the team being more interested in Justin Herbert instead.
Then again, you have to take these teams being interested in certain players with a grain of salt as franchises try to trick other teams into thinking they want one thing, but are looking somewhere completely different.
