Tua Tagovailoa hasn’t even taken an NFL snap yet, but he already has the number one selling jersey on NFLShop.com. He’s so popular, that both colors of his Miami Dolphins jersey are more popular than any other jersey on the website, including Tom Brady’s new Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey.

If you were to go to the website and search under “most popular,” Tagovailoa’s No. 1 jersey, in both colors, are the top two selling jerseys.
Tua, who was drafted by the Miami Dolphins as the 5th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, hopes to become the franchise quarterback the Dolphins have been needing and wanting for years.
There is so much anticipation around whether or not he will actually play this season, or if the Dolphins will decided to sit him out this season to make sure he’s truly 100% recovered from his season ending injury last season.
If he was to play this season, he’s already being projected as the second favorite rookie to win Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.
Last season at Alabama, Tagovailoa threw for 2,840 yards, 33 touchdowns and 3 interceptions before a season-ending injury against Mississippi State.
