“I’m not playing badminton. I’m not on the swim team,” Tagovailoa said during an Instagram Live show with Mike Locksley, his former offensive coordinator with the Crimson Tide and the current head coach at Maryland. “[Football] is a physical sport. You’re gonna get hurt. That just comes with it. And it was just very unfortunate that I got hurt every season.
“It’s a part of the game. It’s a contact sport. I can only control what I can control. I can’t control that.”
ESPN’s Todd McShay has Tagovailoa going fifth overall to the Miami Dolphins in his latest mock draft; counterpart Mel Kiper Jr. has him fifth in his latest Big Board.
“I’ll play for whoever takes me,” Tagovailoa told Locksley. “I just want to play, man. It doesn’t matter what organization I go to, man. I just want to play. I look forward to playing under any organization that is willing to take a chance on me.”
