The Splash Zone 5/26/23: Skepticism remains with Tua Tagovailoa

When healthy last season, Tua Tagovailoa was playing at a very high level in his first season with Mike McDaniel leading the Miami Dolphins offense. But that is the knock against Tua, he just hasn’t been able to make it through a full season in his young career so far. The quarterback has taken up jiu-jitsu in an effort to hopefully learn how to fall when getting hit. Unfortunately, even if Tua were to finish this season by playing in every game, he would still have a ton of skeptics. It comes with the job.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
