Former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is about to begin his NFL career with the Miami Dolphins after being the No. 5 selection by the franchise in the 2020 draft.
Many questions are being raised about Tagovailoa’s potential to succeed in the league. Being one of the most talked about college quarterbacks in recent history, with injury questions looming over him, it seems he will either be a boom or a bust.
Currently, there isn’t a way to see or predict the future (that we know of), which means there’s only one way to get a rough idea what might be ahead for the Crimson Tide product.
Madden.
I did a ten-season simulation with Tagovailoa in Madden 21 that not only had some surprises with stats, but a change in scenery for the young quarterback.
Let’d dive in to Tua Tagovailoa’s first ten seasons in the NFL, as told by Madden 21:
Rookie season (2020):
Tagovailoa made his first career start in Week 3 for the Miami Dolphins after they started the season 0-2 with veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. With the 2018 Heisan finalist now the starter, the Dolphins went 5-9 to close out the season with a final record of 5-11.
He opened up the season with an overall rating of 73, but finished his rookie year as a 78 overall rated player.
