Tua Tagovailoa hoping Miami Dolphins find way to add one of his former Alabama teammates
Tua Tagovailoa likely isn’t in a position to tell the Dolphins who to pick in the upcoming 2021 NFL Draft, but if Miami is interested in the quarterback’s thoughts on a prospect from Alabama, he’d certainly welcome the addition of a familiar face to South Beach.
During a recent interview with Yahoo Sports, Tagovailoa was asked to share his thoughts on Najee Harris’ game.
“He’s a well-rounded running back,” Tagovailoa said of Harris. “He’s very athletic, he can run, he can make a man miss, he can power through someone and he’s very good in the pass game. Not just with catching, but I think what’s overshadowed by his success with the catches and the runs, is blocking.”
Miami’s starting quarterback then went a step further when discussing Harris.
“He’s going to be a fun guy to watch this upcoming season,” Tagovailoa added. “I’m excited to see him. Hopefully we’re on the same team, who knows.”
The Dolphins definitely have the draft capital to make this happen as Miami owns the No. 3 and No. 18 selections in the 2021 NFL Draft.
There’s plenty of speculation that Miami will be interested in DeVonta Smith with the No. 3 pick and if Harris is around at No. 18, we could see the Dolphins use both first-round selections to help Tua out in 2021.

I said the same things about N Harris yesterday I believe. Almost the exact description. He will be missed at Alabama all by his lonesome!!! People just don’t realize how much he added to that offense.
We all know about their receivers and the long catches. But N Harris blocking like an offensive lineman helped give them time. Plus his receiving out of the backfield just when you think. Yea we finally stopped them. And a little dump off to Harris goes between 18 and 80 yards!!! Or you could lose him and he takes off down the sidelines and they hit him with a bomb like a wide receiver!
N Harris could have played wide receiver and would still have been a 5 star prospect and would still be drafted as a receiver! I would LOVE for the falcons to draft him!!! But honestly we need one of these elite QBs with our first pick. I prefer Trevor Lawrence but Justin Fields might also be a great pick! I’m on the fence about Mac Jones but I might be wrong. But it’s hard to know. Because Alabama’s system and wide receivers could make anyone look great.
I know who I don’t want! I DO NOT WANT KYLE TRASK UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!! He was not that good. Those receivers and TE Kyle Pitts made him look better than he is!!!! ATLANTA DO NOT GET SUCKED INTO THE KYLE TRASK TRAP!!!!! MATT RYAN IS BETTER THAN HIM. AND WE NEED SOMEBODY BESIDES MATT RYAN!!
Find someone who has 2 first round picks that are stupid enough. And trade Matt Ryan for 2 first round picks!!!! You’ll never be sorry!!! As for Alabama. They won’t just up and replace the group that just left like they usually do. Because those were special players!!! Alabama can no longer just lean on their defense until the offense comes around. No Nick Saban changed all that. Now he has to live with what he did. Personally I think Alabama will struggle early!!!
I think they could very well lose that first one to Miami! Miami is not a great football team. But they are a good football team. And Miami is not replacing nearly as much as Alabama is!!! Then they get Florida early! Personally I think Florida will suck. But that early in the season. They will know more about their own team. Just based upon playing together.
I won’t say Alabama will lose both. But it is a possibility! But I think if anything they are more likely to lose the opener to Miami. UGA could lose the opener to clemson. I doubt it but it could happen!!! I just honestly believe Alabama takes a step back this next season. Now the year after they may well win it all again. But next season they take a few steps back and we all find out that Nick Saban is human!!!!
PS. Not meaning to sound like a negative Nelly but when Saban retires. Alabama will fall a loooooong way down!!! They might not stay down forever. But there is a huge fall coming someday soon!!! AND I’M PREDICTING IT. I’M GOING OUT ON A LIMB TO TELL YOU. YOU’LL SEE THE FIRST REAL CRACKS IN THE DYNASTY THIS SEASON!!!!! I JUST HAVE TO CALL IT AS I SEE IT!!!! THE FIRST REAL CRACKS IN THE DYNASTY COME NEXT SEASON!!!!!!

I wish you would fall off that limb.
If the NFL rumor mill has any credence, Tua should be hoping that the Dolphins don’t trade him & then use the #3 pick for his replacement.
The rumors are the trade will be for Watson. No need to draft his replacement.
The falcons are the ones that need to trade for Watson!!! Matt Ryan is holding that team down badly!!!
We have Calvin Ridley on one side and Julio Jones on the other! Any truly great QB would have a field day with those receivers!!!!

Negan the brain, you need brain surgery if you think Matt Ryan is holding the Falcons back. The OC sucked this year and so does the o line. And they fired the HC because he sucked. Completely bad coaching staff.
Wonder who Kyle trask gonna join, if you ask me i say either the colts or possibly washington
Broncos another team to watch
Tua won’t be a Dolphin for tua much longer.
The kid will be holding a clip board for a year or two until his cap hit is not an issue. Then he’s out of football.
