A source told Yahoo Sports that the minimum recovery time for Tagovailoa is six months, which means teams will not see Tagovailoa work out prior to the NFL draft on April 23. And while Alabama team orthopedic surgeon Dr. Lyle Cain has said multiple times that Tagovailoa is expected to make a “full recovery,” there’s still understandable skepticism at the NFL level. Until league executives can see him running and throwing, selecting Tagovailoa looms as a giant risk.

Tagovailoa’s cloudy professional future has already vaulted him into the status of the 2020 draft’s most divisive and discussed player. Think about the din of the discussions around Tim Tebow, Josh Rosen or Lamar Jackson, throw in the uncertainty of the sport’s highest-profile injury in recent seasons, and months of narratives will unfold. Also, consider that the injury stands to cost Tagovailoa as much as $25 million, which means the specter of his hip injury could well trickle down to the college game. Coaches, administrators and agents are asking: Is this the caliber of injury and amount of lost money that could prompt elite players to find alternative paths to the NFL

“It’s very difficult, you don’t know what you’re drafting,” said a veteran NFL executive. “I see him maybe going toward the end of the first round.”

Where would this be? XBox?
You've got to play to show your talents. Where else could you do this a d presumably to not risk any injury?

He needs to go late to the Patriots so Tom Brady can teach him to throw the ball away. He is the best at throwing it in the dirt. You got to at his age.

I hope and pray it doesn’t cost him that much. Quotes from GMs have been all over the place on where he will go. I still think he goes high unless there are complications

Tua reportedly has draft insurance that will cover the drop from top 5 to late first round or higher.

I hope so. After his injuries last season, it makes perfect sense that he may have covered that possibility before this season.

I certainly hope that’s true. That’s the first time I’ve heard it mentioned.
