Tua Tagovailoa is already breaking barriers as he enters the NFL.
The former Alabama quarterback was taken No. 5 overall by the Miami Dolphins in the 2020 NFL draft on Thursday, making him the first left-handed quarterback selected since 2010, according to Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz of USA Today.
Tim Tebow was a first-round pick of the Denver Broncos that season, while Sean Canfield was taken in the seventh round by the New Orleans Saints.
The last lefty quarterback to throw a pass in the NFL was Kellen Moore, who was undrafted in 2012 and is now the Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator.
