Tua Tagovailoa gets huge endorsement from rising star Mike Gesicki

Tua Tagovailoa has the support of his head coach, offensive coordinator, Tyreek Hill, and now his tight end.

Mike Gesicki, a second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft from Penn State, is becoming a rising star in the National Football League. He’s played 64 games in his first four seasons, totaling 199 catches for 2,255 yards and 13 touchdowns.

The 6-foot-6, 247-pounder is going into his third year with Tagovailoa, and he is excited. Gesicki joined the Breneman Shows Up podcast with fellow Penn State tight end, Adam Breneman. The two discussed a video from the Dolphins’ social media profile where Tagovailoa’s critics were trolling him for an “underthrown” ball.
