Tua Tagovailoa is having a roller coaster of a season, The Miami Dolphins QB started the season in the first two weeks well throwing for 7 touchdowns and just 2 interceptions before going down with an injury in week 3. He started to play at the Pro Bowl level when he came back from injury. Although Tua did not get a Pro Bowl nod from the league, he has certainly impressed the veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The back-to-back NFL MVP was asked about Tua Tagovailoa by the media. Aaron Rodgers remembered how he was surprised just like everybody else when Tua was subbed into the game after the halftime of the 2018 CFB National Championship. Rodgers continued that Tua showed his incredible ability that night and had a great career in Alabama.
Rodgers also noted that Tua has dealt with a couple of head injuries in his career, which are dangerous. He then continued to heap praise on the Dolphins QB, saying that he enjoys the way Tua plays. “I enjoy the way that he plays, he plays on time and he throws the ball accurately,” said Rodgers. The reigning NFL MVP also praised Tua for doing a nice job with his eye controls for a young player.
Rodgers also recalled how Tua has been super efficient in the incredible fourth-quarter comebacks by the Dolphins. Rodgers also acknowledged Dolphins wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle calling them two great weapons for Tua. The veteran QB said he is impressed by the way Tua is playing and he respects how Tua handles himself. “I think he handles himself with a lot of respect and class,” said Rodgers to the media.
On Rodgers’ side of things, he and the Green Bay Packers will travel to Miami to face Tua Tagovailoa on Christmas Day. The Dolphins will look to break their three-game losing streak and get back on the winning tracks.

Tua Tagovailoa has taken a leap this season
Tua Tagovailoa is playing his third season in the National Football League. He spent most of his rookie year sitting behind Ryan Fitzpatrick as a backup. In his second year, he played better, but certainly did not seem to have the ability to become a franchise quarterback of the Miami Dolphins.
Dolphins fans started to question their team’s decision to draft Tua Tagovailoa ahead of Justin Herbert, but now it seems like it has worked out well for the Miami-based franchise. Tua has already thrown for almost 500 more yards than last season in fewer passing attempts and also has thrown only 5 interceptions. He is playing at a Pro Bowl level. The QB could have been playing at an MVP level if it wasn’t for his injuries. But how was it made possible?
Thanks to the Dolphins GM Chris Grier, Tua has got two great weapons. Jaylen Waddle was drafted 6th overall in the 2021 NFL draft, who has been really good for the team. But the real game-changer was Tyreek Hill. The speedster was acquired from Kansas City Chiefs in the 2022 off-season. He has been the real reason behind this impressive season from Tua Tagovailoa. Tyreek Hill has caught 109 passes for 1,529 yards and is favored to win the OPOY award.
The impressive quarterback-wide receiver duo will look to continue their dominance and put up huge numbers against the Green Bay Packers in the coming game.In his personal life, Tua Tagovailoa’s wife is Annah Gore.
