On Friday, both ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Laura Rutledge shared updates about Tua Tagovailoa, his status, and how he is prepping for the draft.
Rutledge shared how on April 10th, Tua will have another MRI on his hip and will send the results to teams who are interested in him. She also went on to share how he will continue to showcase his talents:
“The other part of this as well is that Tua’s camp right now is working on some sort of video that they would be able to give out to these teams showing him throwing, showing him doing the exercises that people would want to see otherwise. And really trying to replicate what these teams would be doing if they were able to see Tua in person.”
This comes after the SEC had to cancel all pro days due to the coronavirus. Talgovailoa was one of many athletes across the country who were hoping to have one more shot to showcase their talents in front of teams.
Since then, the NFL prohibited teams from conducting predraft visits due to growing concerns surrounding the new coronavirus.
We also learned yesterday that according to Ian Rapoport, there were logistical issues in Tagovailoa having a visit to Miami. Although he was the first choice for the Dolphins, the meeting wasn’t able to happen.
For the season, Tagovailoa threw for 2,840 yards, 33 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. In his career at Alabama, Tua racked up 7,442 yards passing, 87 TDs, and 11 INTs.
The 2020 NFL Draft will be held from April 23-25.
