Tua Tagovailoa was at one point among four prospects the Cincinnati Bengals would reportedly consider at No. 1 in the 2020 NFL draft.
We can’t know how the process has unfolded behind closed doors in Cincinnati. But we can check in on the former Alabama passer thanks to an update from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, who revealed Tagovailoa passed his fourth-month check.
It’s on to getting into football shape for Tagovailoa, provided there aren’t any setbacks in training. He’ll likely be part of the combine re-check process soon and will, of course, draw a massive crowd at Alabama’s pro day.
While the Bengals still figure to draft Joe Burrow, the team made a point to meet with Tagovailoa at the combine. It’s all in the name of due diligence, even if conventional wisdom says the Bengals go with the Ohio kid Burrow.
