Tua Tagovailoa is projected as a top-ten pick in the upcoming draft, and is widely viewed as the second best quarterback behind LSU’s Joe Burrow.

Being cleared on March 9th would give Tagovailoa plenty of time for a predraft workout, giving him the chance to prove to NFL teams he’ll be ready to play as a rookie, and worthy of a high draft choice.
