Papa Tagovailoa said, "leave, let your brother play"!

If he stays his brother sits another year and that's no good for the family. He's an accurate guy who can run a bit(when healthy). Probably the best decision for him at this time. Besides, as I said, his brother is sitting in the wings just using up eligibility! Better to get him some run and hopefully you get two Tagovailoa's in the league.

That means not much. Of course they will want folks to think they have added, rather than lost talent. He may be better, but time will tell.

It's better for him not to risk another injury.

Not that he would fall that much or if he will be the first this year (highly unlikely)
But If/When T. Lawrence goes next year he would be the first and Tua was probably thinking let me get in there before him so I can get as high as possible and possibly the 1st QB (if he can slide in before golden boy Burrow)

if the injury impacts his draft status.
The more prudent move may have been to play at Bama another year and prove that he has fully recovered from the injury.
We've all been told the surgery was successful. However, that’s successful by the surgeon’s standards, not necessarily NFL standards, and not all teams have the same standards for risk/reward analysis when it comes to evaluating players with question marks surrounding their status.

I think he might go top 10-15 instead of top 3

But i would be surprised if he fell further than that unless he just fails the medicals.

As a general rule, I don't think it's ever wise for a football player who is guaranteed to receive an initial NFL contract to play one additional game for free than is necessary. In Tua's case, the upfront signing is worth more than most people earn in a lifetime. His injury history is a risk...let an NFL franchise take that risk. If he injures himself again at Bama, he might not make a nickel from football.

I had no doubt about what he would do because it was the obvious choice.
Best of luck to him at the next level.

So now the SEC has no competition for CLEMSON next year? With Joe and Tua leaving, the SEC has no team that's all that good next year. And no, UGA and UF are not all that good. Give me a break.

If I was a NFL team, I wouldn't waste a draft choice on him.
I hate it for the kid. He is likeable and was pretty good before he got hurt. He's now had 5 or 6 injuries that have cost him games and unfortunately this one may cost him his career.
To.e will tell.

I hope the young man gets his body put back together and goes on to great success. He could really put on a show before they started experimenting on his bones.

He will get drafted by a quality team later in the first round, Sit out of year and hold a clip board while rehabbing. He’d be a #### good fit in New Orleans and possibly the successor to drew brees.
