Pick Analysis. Tua Tagovailoa. 2. 829. Scouting Report. QB. Alabama. player

Last Week at South Carolina: 28-for-36 (77.8%)| 444 yards| 5 TD| 0 INT| 2 rushes| -12 yards| 0 TD

Season Stats: 70-for-91 (76.9%)| 1,007 yards| 12 TD| 0 INT| 9 rushes| 36 yards| 1 TD

Tua Tagovailoa has been so good for so long that I think we have become too used to his impressive performances. It doesn’t feel like he is getting as much attention as he should as someone who has completed over 75% passes, thrown for over 1,000 yards with 12 touchdowns, and has yet to throw an interception in three games.

He has been incredibly efficient throwing to his excellent receiving corp and looks much more like himself after being injured at the end of last season. As long as he stays healthy, Tagovailoa figures to be right in the thick of the Heisman race while Alabama figures to be right in the thick of the playoff race.

Tagovailoa will look to continue his excellent play when he leads the Crimson Tide versus Southern Mississippi on Saturday.
