Former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had a complicated rookie season that began with him on the bench and eventually led to a slew of interesting headlines by the end of the year.
He threw for 1,814 yards and 11 touchdowns on 64% completion, while throwing five interceptions in his nine starts for the Miami Dolphins.
Now, some are beginning to question whether Tagovailoa will begin his second year in the NFL with the team that drafted him.
Rumors are heating up surrounding a potential trade deal that could include sending Tagovailoa and draft picks to Houston in exchange for disgruntled star quarterback, Deshaun Watson.
Not a single party implicated in the rumors has spoken out about them, but hearsay and ‘sources’ have made this nearly a must-watch storyline in the NFL.
As a guest on the Dan Patrick Show today, Tagovailoa was asked how he felt about the rumors.
He answered with a precise and short answer, just as Nick Saban trained him to give.
"That's something that I can't control. I don't have any control over those trade deals and what not." –@Tua on his name being involved in trade talks surrounding Deshaun Watson. #Dolphins #Texans pic.twitter.com/yJ4k4RbfOG
