It didn’t take long for Aaron Donald to introduce himself to Tua Tagovailoa. And the Miami Dolphins’ rookie from Alabama learned there are growing pains going from Alabama to the NFL.
Watch as the best defensive lineman in the game forces Tagovailoa to fumble Sunday and it turns into a Dolphins turnover less than five minutes into the game. The classic strip-sack.
The fumble came on Miami’s second play of Tagovailioa’s first start.
