Tua Tagovailoa is still working his way back from a season-ending hip injury that, at one time, had people believing could be career-threatening. Not only is the former Alabama back to working out, however, he seems to close to 100 percent.
On Monday night, Tagovailoa posted a workout video to his Instagram account, and the media, as well as fans, was seemingly thrilled to see the progress he had made since the injury that occurred against Mississippi State.
He are some of the best tweets in reaction to the video:

Even Miami Dolphins fans are getting excited, as many took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the team potentially selecting — or not selecting — Tagovailoa.

There is still a lot of work that Tagovailoa needs to make before he will be ready for full contact during a live football game, but he’s making the necessary progress to work his way into being a strong candidate for the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Whether that’s the Dolphins, the Los Angeles Chargers or another team trading up with the Washington Redskins, who currently own that pick, expect the Honolulu (Hawaii) native to hear his name called soon after former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow.
