Former Super Bowl champion says whoever takes Tua Tagovailoa ‘wins the NFL Draft’

Some people claim the title of “quarterback whisperer” or “quarterback developer,” but the production truly lies within Trent Dilfer. An alumnus of Fresno State University, he played 14 seasons in the National Football League at quarterback from 1994 to 2007. Despite playing for five teams, Dilfer captured a Super Bowl championship in 2000 with the Baltimore Ravens.

He was not the best at his position – numbers wise – however, he thoroughly understood what qualities are needed to be successful. Along with broadcasting for ESPN, Dilfer became the head coach of the Elite 11 competition – following his retirement from the NFL.
