Some NFL Scout takes on Tua
Someone will pull the trigger, but interesting to read that some teams have taken them off their board completely
An anonymous NFL executive expressed "serious concern about the durability" of Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa to The Athletic's Bob McGinn.
McGinn has conducted these polls with executives and scouts for 36 years. Quotes were made anonymous starting in 2015. That executive wasn't the only one of the 18 polled to slam Tagovailoa. "I don?t want to put my whole franchise on a left-handed, beat-up, 6-foot quarterback. No thank you," said an AFC personnel man. ?He?s a great college player but, wow, he is fragile,? another AFC personnel man said. ?He?s a super kid and I don?t wish ill will, but there?s three, four or five red flags staring us all in the face saying, ?You know what? This guy?s not going to be all that he?s cracked up to be.?? Some teams have expressed concern about Tagovailoa's hip injury being a problem again in a few years, causing concern when he's due a second NFL contract. On top of the hip, Tagovailoa has also had surgeries on both ankles for high-ankle sprains, a sprained knee, and hand surgery. He's already been pretty banged up in his career. At least three teams have removed Tua from their draft boards completely. His draft night could be interesting.
