Looks like he will be in the draft.

He announced the decision at a press conference Monday alongside his coach, Nick Saban.

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller considers the left-hander the second-best quarterback in the class and the No. 7 overall prospect.

Tagovailoa is coming off an impressive season when he was on the field, totaling 2,840 passing yards and 33 touchdowns with just three interceptions in nine games. The only thing that stopped him was injuries, as an ankle problem limited him early in the year before a dislocated hip ended his season. He underwent surgery to fix his hip in November.

I want to see what he says and how he is feeling and if he gonna tell the truth like OSU QB Fields did when he said his knee was only 80 - 85%

Go get 'im Grier!!!

We may have to trade up to get him...I could see a team like the Chargers trying to jump to #2 or 3 to get him. The Redskins and Lions will be open for business for sure with those picks.

Not totally about the Redskins but I definitely see the Chargers or the Lions trying to move up. Moving up depends on how desperate Miami wants a QB and how long will they be willing to wait.

Yep. It all comes down to how the Dolphins rate Tua. If they have him at the top of their board, then it's their job to do whatever it takes to get him. You don't mess around if you have a strong conviction about a QB.

Trading UP for an injury-prone QB who may not even be able to play in 2020???

If Grier actually does that he should be fired on the spot.

The only rookie QB that will be starting week 1 in 2020 is Burrow. Tua will rehab and the others aren't ready for prime time yet.

If we do draft him, Grier should get a medal for finally drafting an elite QB prospect. 1983 was a long time ago!

High-risk high reward scenario. this is gonna be a reach as many teams are going to looking at the fact that he has had hip surgery and both his ankle has been a problem as well. injury history is gonna drop his draft stock
