Simply put, this 30 second video is AMAZING.
.@Tuaamann carries a lot of pressure on his shoulders.
He pushes himself for his culture, his family and his name. #GreatnessIsAChoice

The NFL twitter account tweeted out this 30 second video to tease the NFL Draft that will take place from April 23-25 on NFLN/ESPN/ABC.
In just 30 seconds, you get a small taste of how Tua Tagovailoa is, his heritage, and how this is so much more than just a game for him.
Tua has become a role model, on and off the field. After enduring a season ending injury last season, he has inspired people all over the world as he recovered and is ready to prove himself in the NFL.
Although some teams wonder if he is truly 100%, he claims he is.
In an interview with NFL Network, Tagovailoa made it clear: he is good to go.
“I feel 100 percent. I feel like if there was a game today, I’d be able to go out and perform the same way I was able to perform in previous years. I feel as mobile as possible. I feel 100 percent.”
Many mock drafts have had him going in the top 5 of the first round, but recently, reports have risen to the surface that some teams have Justin Hebert going over Tagovailoa, simply because of Tua’s injuries while at Alabama.
There’s still time for Tagovailoa to create confidence in teams as he continues to release videos, but this is certainly concerning as we are now 3 weeks away from the NFL Draft.
Will teams pick Herbert, a safe choice due to lack of injuries? Or will there be a team (Miami for example) who is willing to take a chance on Tagovailoa early in the first round?
For the season, Tagovailoa threw for 2,840 yards, 33 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. In his career at Alabama, Tagovailoa racked up 7,442 yards passing, 87 TDs, and 11 INTs.
