Anonymous AFC Exec on Tua Tagovailoa: 'There's a Lot of Things to Nitpick'

Durability question marks could be enough to scare some teams away from drafting Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

"If you're going to bet your job on [drafting him], you better be damn sure that he checks every other box, because there's a lot of things to nitpick on with this guy—most importantly, the injuries," an AFC executive said, per Tom Pelissero of NFL.com. "He's a 6-foot quarterback who's 230 pounds with a [dislocated] hip and it just doesn't add up."

The dislocated hip ended Tagovailoa's 2019 season prematurely, but other issues have also held him back.
