Tua Tagovailoa was drafted at No. 5 overall during the 2020 NFL Draft. He emerged from the most successful college football program in modern history and has, from time to time, been offered as a potential NFL MVP candidate.ย 

Itโ€™s probably fair to say Tagovailoa has fans who think he is on his way to being an elite quarterback.ย 

But Tagovailoa also has his doubters. Some NFL fans worry that heโ€™s a little on the small side, or that heโ€™s one or two concussion protocols away from stepping away from his professional career.ย 

Others believe him to be a system quarterback โ€“ a product of Mike McDanielโ€™s Dolphins offense, more than an outright playmaker who could thrive on any team.ย 

Any of these theories could be true. Itโ€™s even possible that all of them could be true.

The thing we know for sure: The 26-year-old quarterback of the Dolphins is now a very rich man.
