Aaron Donald welcomes Tua Tagovailoa to NFL, strip sacks him on rookie's first pass as starter

Tua Tagovailoa didn’t see anyone like Aaron Donald in college, even in the SEC.

The Miami Dolphins gave the fifth pick of the draft the starting job over their bye week, and one drawback was having to go against Donald, the best defensive player in the NFL. On Tagovailoa’s first dropback as a starter in the NFL, Donald got pressure and punched the ball out of Tagovailoa’s left hand as he wound up to throw. The Rams recovered the fumble and Robert Woods scored a touchdown a few plays later.
