From the moment Tagovailoa led the Crimson Tide to a come-from-behind win in the National Championship two years ago, people have been singing his praises as a possible number one overall pick.

Some injury concerns have since quelled those talks, but Tagovailoa is still a legitimate top pick candidate and showed while playing through injury last year just how devastating he can be for defenses.

He completed 69 percent of his passes for 3,966 yards and 43 touchdowns, adding five rushing touchdowns and throwing only six interceptions.

Tagovailoa has arm strength, timing, accuracy, skills outside of the pocket and on the move, and excellent football savvy.

If he’s fully healthy, he’s a borderline dual-threat who can shred you from the pocket and make you pay with his athleticism.

The lefty signal caller will be one of the most coveted players in the 2020 class, should he declare.
