2020 NFL Draft: Updated quarterback big board after Tua Tagovailoa injury
By Cory Kinnan
How does the 2020 NFL Draft quarterback big board shake out after week 12 and the season-ending injury to Tua Tagovailoa?
We are now 12 weeks into the college football season, and the cream is beginning to rise as far as the top quarterbacks in the 2020 NFL Draft are concerned. Unfortunately for Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, a severe hip injury has not only ended his junior season for the Crimson Tide, but could have further repercussions for his draft stock.
The big seven quarterbacks being discussed in this deep class of gunslingers are: LSU’s Joe Burrow, Washington’s Jacob Eason, Georgia’s Jake Fromm, Oregon’s Justin Herbert, Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts, Utah State’s Jordan Love, and Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa. With a need at quarterback for many teams around the league including the Cincinnati Bengals, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it is likely to hear at least four of these names called in the first round.
Hopefully Tua’s injury will not impact his draft stock too much and hopefully he is healthy by the time pre-draft festivities begin early this Spring. Until any of these quarterbacks decided not to declare for the 2020 NFL Draft, they will stay on the list as Love, Fromm, Eason, and Tagovailoa have the ability to go back to school should they choose.
After the conclusion of week 12 and the injury to Tua Tagovailoa, here is an updated big board for the big named 2020 NFL Draft quarterbacks.
