Top 10 Quarterbacks in the 2020 NFL Draft: No. 2 Tua Tagovailoa
By John Newman
To help you get ready for the upcoming quarterback class, we created a top ten list of quarterbacks available in the 2020 NFL Draft. Tua Tagovailoa comes in here at No. 2 overall.
Our top 10 quarterbacks of the 2020 NFL Draft continues to move along. We have already gone through eight quarterbacks that will be available this April for NFL teams to draft and still have our top two QBs to go. Whether they won a national title or had a losing record, these quarterbacks showed signs in college that indicated they should be selected in the upcoming draft and make an active roster in 2020.
Posted below are the players on this list we have made it through so far:
10) Nate Stanley- Iowa
9) Shea Patterson- Michigan
8) Jacob Eason- Washington
7) Jalen Hurts- Oklahoma
6) Jake Fromm- Georgia
5) Anthony Gordon- Washington State
4) Jordan Love- Utah State
3) Justin Herbert- Oregon
In these articles, we will be reviewing the quarterback’s background: their history, how they got recruited and what their time in college was like. Afterward, we’ll go into a film analysis of the player: how they threw, what their mechanics were like, what they did well and didn’t do well. And finally, we’ll make a draft prediction for them, the teams that fit their style, where in the draft they could be selected and what role they can expect to take once there.
Coming in at number two on this list is Tua Tagovailoa, quarterback for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
If you had asked most draft analysts this time last year, they would have told you to prepare for Tua to go first overall in the 2020 NFL Draft. He had won a National Championship in his freshman year, had led his team back to the National Championship the following year.
Besides back-to-back National Championship appearances, Tua thoroughly dominated his opponents during the regular season. He finished his career at Alabama with a 24-2 record.
Coming into the 2019 season, it was a foregone conclusion that he would be the first quarterback selected in the upcoming draft. A generational talent for the ages, looking to return to the National Championship for a third season straight.
Sadly, for Tua and Crimson Tide fans around the country, it was not meant to be. Injury shortened his 2019 season and kept him from leaving Alabama for the NFL as a National Champion.
Despite the very serious leg and hip injury Tua sustained, he is still considered a top quarterback prospect in the 2020 NFL Draft.
