Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is currently in his fourth NFL season after being selected No. 5 overall by the franchise in 2020. It seems like he has been under constant scrutiny since that day.
Fans and analysts have encouraged him to retire after his concussion issues in 2022, there were Deshaun Watson trade rumors in 2021, and there’s been a long-standing meme that he’s a weak-armed quarterback.
Well, here we are in 2023 with Tagovailoa leading nearly every major quarterback statistical category.
Former Heisman winner, NFL rookie of the year and football fan favorite Robert Griffin III recently stated on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he believes Tagovailoa is the front-runner for the league’s MVP award through three weeks and that it is not close.
Just last week, Tagovailoa and the Dolphins scored a whopping 70 points on the Denver Broncos. The sky is the limit for the young quarterback, and with a potential contract extension this offseason, he’s seeing dollar signs with every completion.
Tua is the MVP front-runner and IT ISN’T CLOSE. He has the quickest time to pass AND highest yards per completion in the NFL. His O-line has only given up 1 sack in 104 dropbacks. He is using that Jiu-Jitsu training to GROUND AND POUND his haters to smithereens. @Tua pic.twitter.com/5dmcHUoTcT
