He will enter year No. 16 at quarterback in the National Football League this fall, but Ryan Fitzpatrick knows that his days as the starter for the Miami Dolphins are numbered. After totaling 3,529 passing yards with 20 touchdowns to 13 interceptions last season, the 37-year-old saw the franchise take Tua Tagovailoa of Alabama at No. 5 overall during the NFL Draft.
A native Hawaiian, Tagovailoa was nothing short of sensational in three years with the Crimson Tide.
He won a Southeastern Conference title, a College Football Playoff National Championship and a host of individual accolades, while becoming the school’s all-time leader for touchdown passes (87) and total scores (96).
