Tua Tagovailoa believes he's Miami Dolphins' franchise QB, but says he must 'prove' it

DAVIE, Fla. -- Tua Tagovailoa believes he can be the Miami Dolphins' franchise quarterback but knows he has to prove it with better play in Year 2.

Tagovailoa is coming off a rookie season where he went 6-3 with a 64.1% completion rate, 14 total touchdowns to five interceptions. But the former Alabama star was replaced twice in the fourth quarter by veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick and struggled at times to throw the ball effectively downfield.

With the Dolphins in the thick of offseason quarterback speculation for the second consecutive year, Tagovailoa was asked whether he is convinced that Miami is all-in on him as the franchise quarterback.
