This time of year nothing really matters what a team says or what a player says. A player will play for whoever drafts them and they will never say “damn, I really wanted to play for someone else”. That is likely the case with Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins.
Tua Tagovailoa and his father were on the Rich Eisen Show and they talked about how much they like Miami and the area. His father went as far as to say it reminded them of Hawaii, where they are from. There was some banter back and forth and they both said that no matter where they end up, they will love it.
