Tua Tagovailoa is used to getting autograph requests. On Saturday, however, he was the one asking for signatures.
Tagovailoa and some of his Crimson Tide teammates recently took in Dance Marathon at the University of Alabama. Dance Marathon events at colleges and high schools across the country raise money to support Children’s Miracle Network hospital patients and their families.
When some of the Miracle kids asked for Tagovailoa’s autograph, the Alabama quarterback turned the tables, asking them to sign his shirt.
When our Miracle Kids ask for @Tuaamann autograph, he told them to sign HIS shirt instead. @Tuaamann the definition of FTK! #FTK #DoWhatMatters pic.twitter.com/Br5nq9krio

He was, of course, still accommodating to those who wanted his signature.
