Tua Tagovailoa: Success Leaves Footprints

Miami Dolphins Tales From The Deep

From the moment Tua Tagovailoa threw the game-winning touchdown pass to lift the University of Alabama to their 17th National Championship in 2017, he kickstarted a journey that would see him capture nearly every college football award imaginable, along with the hearts of Crimson Tide fans across the country. The Miami Dolphins selected Tagovailoa with the fifth overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft and in two seasons with the team, he has a 13-8 starting record and has done so with the second-highest completion percentage in team history.

In The Tank, Tua reacts to first-year Miami Dolphins Head Coach Mike McDaniel's on-stage performance at the quarterback's recent charity event (1:32), reveals what took place on the other side of the now famous FaceTime call between coach and QB (3:36), and addresses the "noise" that has surrounded him his entire career (9:08). Tua also shares his excitement for the Dolphins offseason personnel moves (12:06) while managing the expectations that may be built as a result of them (13:38). The Dolphins QB1 discusses leadership (15:19), his relationship with Dan Marino (16:12), the importance of family (18:20), and his motivation behind establishing the Tua Foundation (23:03).

Contributors to this episode include Sean "DJ Prec" Todd, Alex Bitchatchi, and Dolphins Productions.
