NFL Network analyst doesn’t see Tua Tagovailoa falling out of the top five for NFL Draft

It looks he made the right decision.

Tua Tagovailoa announced on Monday that he will declare for the NFL Draft and not return for his senior year at Alabama. Despite various media outlets throwing the durability issue in his face, the native Hawaiian said his faith guided him into making his decision.

After a successful collegiate career that included a College Football Playoff National Championship, a Southeastern Conference Championship and a host of individual accolades, Tagovailoa is ready to see what the future holds for him amongst the professional ranks.

During his final “Hey Coach” show of the 2019 season, Nick Saban mentioned the junior quarterback as the lone top-15 pick for the Tide.
