Would Tua even be able to play next year?

As noted above, the doctors believe the most likely outcome is that he’ll be ready at some point in the summer. However, no one knows for certain given the seriousness of the injury. That includes NFL teams.

As to the other speculation in the thread, Tua is a different kind of young man. I think he will go pro but nothing would really surprise me. If I were deciding for him, he’d go pro. But if he decides to come back, it would be an incredible story. As Coach Saban said, Godspeed to him and his family. The best I’ve seen at Bama. And a great ambassador for the University.
