Tua Tagovailoa was drafted No. 5 overall by the Miami Dolphins and had to wait quite sometime to see in-game action as an NFL quarterback. Now, as a satrter, he is undefeated and is on pace to make a push for the playoffs.
The potential playoff berth would be the first for Miami since 2016, where they lost in the Wildcard round.
His three wins were impressive, with the first to coming as underdogs aganst the Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona Cardinals.
Today, Tagovailoa led the Dolphins to a win over the Los Angeles Chargers, improving their overall record to 6-3.
In the win, he completed 15 of his 25 passing attempts for 169 yards and two touchdowns. In total, he has five touchdowns and not a single interception on the season.
Twitter has taken notice:
Dolphins now 6-3, with Tua 3-0 as their starter.

Giving Damion Square an autograph, or two NFL colleagues and former Alabama players exchanging jerseys? You decide.

They missed out on Tua by one pick in the draft, and they got to see what they’re missing.

Low expectations? Never heard of them.
People saying Tua was âaverageâ but if you actually watched the entire game and each of Tuaâs throws, youâd understand why we are speaking so highly of him. His throws are BEYOND accurate itâs like a cheat code in madden. Wanna see a full season first but first three games are đ https://t.co/dLm0n1Km2E

Three games is a small sample size, but it’s hard not to appreciate what he’s got going on.
Thatâs another Miami Dolphins WIN!

The stats are facts, and the gif is amazing.
With Tua showing positive signs through 3 starts, itâs hard not to be excited about the future of the Dolphins. With the Texans pick most likely a Top-10 selection, lots of options are on the table for them moving forward.

Tua playing well AND he’ll get some sort of help with a likely early draft pick? Yes please.
