Who can forget the play that put him on the map?
Sitting here watching Tuaâs NFL declaration and trying to think of the last time a non-Heisman winner felt this universally respected, even by fans who normally hate his team. Peyton Manning immediately came to mind, as does Tuaâs former teammate Jalen Hurts. Itâs a short list.

The Tua and Jalen conversation will go down in history as one of the most respected duo’s in college football.

Tua thanks every person involved in his evolution as a player, person, student & patient.
It's authentic. That's who he is.

He is a light in the world.
