It’s hard not to watch the recently released Tua Tagovailoa training videos and marvel at the quarterback’s speedy recovery from his hip surgery, which occurred just four months ago.

While the videos have led to many calling for Tagovailoa to fly up the draft charts, it would appear two of ESPN’s most well-known NFL personalities don’t necessarily agree with those sentiments. Not long after Mel Kiper Jr. called for Tagovailoa to essentially redshirt his first season in the NFL, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter shared his belief that the training videos won’t do much to help the former Alabama quarterback’s stock.

“Look, he’s gonna be able to control the narrative and show teams videos of how well he’s feeling and it looks encouraging, but the bottom line remains, I don’t think it changes anything,” Schefter said during his recent appearance on ‘The Dan Patrick Show.’ “Teams, doctors cannot get their hands on him, they cannot put him through a physical examination. We have no idea about the blood flow in that area. We have no idea exactly how he is healing.

“It’s one thing to just put out a video where it looks like you’re moving well, what’s really going on in there. I have no idea – and the teams don’t either.”

Schefter admits Tagovailoa’s recovery has been remarkable but notes the position NFL teams are going to be put in will be tough to handle considering they cannot further evaluate the former Alabama signal-caller.

“You look at it on the surface you say, hey, you’re excited for the young man and it looks like he’s certainly progressing, but some team is going to be making a major investment in Tua,” Schefter continued. “And that investment is going to be in the form of dollars and maybe draft picks by moving up. And he was always going to be something of a medical gamble, not his talent, he’s a number one overall pick talent.

“We’re not questioning that, we’re just saying that there are questions about the hip, the ankles, durability. That was the question coming out. So, if that was a question then without anybody putting him through an examination, other than the exam in Indianapolis at the combine in late February, aren’t those questions still gonna be there whenever the draft is held? Yes.”

Once again, as Kiper noted, Tagovailoa coming back quickly from injury is one thing but the fact the former Alabama QB continues to suffer injuries will be a red flag for many NFL teams.

The next time you see Tagovailoa rising up a mock board, it may be wise to consider these issues Kiper and Schefter hint at when it comes to the QB’s stock as the draft approaches next month.
