Miami Dolphins fans are itching to get a look at their new franchise quarterback in Miami Dolphins gear. Sure, there have been hoards of jersey swaps that place Tua Tagovailoa into the Dolphins’ colors — but there’s nothing quite like the real thing. The bad news is that we’re probably going to have to wait awhile. Despite the fact that rookies have reported across the league to team facilities to undergo COVID-19 testing and start preparing for the 2020 season, there will be an extended ramp-up period before we see players in pads in training camp.
EA Sports is here to fill the void — as they’ve just revealed some of the 2020 rookie headshots that will be featured in this year’s Madden 21 game. Among them? You guessed it … Tua Tagovailoa.
Featuring his cross eye-black and a Dolphins aqua jersey, Tagovailoa is one of four rookies to receive the spotlight from the game developer to start off the weekend.
It’s not quite the real thing — but at the very least it’s a nice change of pace for Dolphins fans and one step closer to finally seeing Tagovailoa behind center in real life. Tagovailoa recently declared himself “ready to go” for the 2020 season, so when the time does come to put on the pads, we should expect to see Tagovailoa out there spinning it. Hang in there, Dolphins fans. We’ll see it soon. Just not quite soon enough.
