Tua Tagovailoa Stirs Pot on Looming NFL Decision With Latest Tweet

Tua Tagovailoa is either really hyped about the Early Signing Period, or just making the Alabama Crimson Tide fan base squirm.

We're going to go with the latter.

Tua was a sure thing to take his talents to the NFL prior to suffering a devastating hip injury against Mississippi State near the end of the year. The recovery time, paired with the reality that he no longer has a chance to be the No. 1 pick in the 2020 Draft, make his decision far more of a question mark than previously anticipated. Knowing full well his choice is the center of discussion among fans, Tagovailoa sent out the following tweet, which should only add to the drama.

Alright, man.

Tua is still a first-round pick, however, and would be passing up millions if he were to return to Alabama for one last chance at a national title. Even then, there's no guarantee that the 2020 edition of the Alabama Crimson Tide will be good enough to take down Trevor Lawrence and Clemson or the series of contenders among the Power 5's best. Rather, he'd only be risking further injury.

We wish Tua the best with this tough decision, but should he leave, the program is in good hands. It's time to do what's best for him.
