The Miami Dolphins may be just fine with selecting Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with the No. 5 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
There has been plenty of speculation about which quarterback Miami could choose with its first pick, with Tagovailoa's injury history leading some to believe that Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert could be the better selection.
However, it appears that the Dolphins aren't all that concerned with Tagovailoa's injury status after hip surgery last November.
And it seems that Miami had no issues giving him a passing grade on his physical at the NFL Combine, according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald:
But Dolphins doctors examined Tagovailoa extensively in Indianapolis. And the club gave the former Alabama quarterback a passing grade on his physical, according to multiple league and team sources.
The Dolphins are satisfied Tagovailoa is on schedule to a full recovery from the hip injury and ensuing surgery that derailed his 2019 season with the Crimson Tide.
If Tagovailoa can indeed become the player he was before the surgery, he has the potential to be a future star in the NFL.
Of course, Herbert could also reach that mark, which makes the decision even tougher for the Dolphins given the significance of the injury to Tagovailoa.
But if he can perform at his best like he did at Alabama, there's no doubt that Tagovailoa is worthy of a top-five selection by the Dolphins.
