Taulia started his collegiate taking part in days at Alabama, however after Tua left for the NFL, he transferred to the College of Maryland. He amassed a 23-18 document as a four-year starter, throwing for over 11,000 yards and 77 touchdowns to 37 interceptions. Tagovailoa is the all-time chief in Huge Ten passing yards and holds numerous college data for the Terrapins.
Why was he not drafted and even given a UDFA call-up? Nicely past being simply 5’10 and 185, right here’s the scouting report abstract from Dane Brugler:
Although undersized, he performs with excellent toughness and higher arm energy than anticipated to push the ball downfield. Nonetheless, he will get locked on most popular reads and is late to learn man/zone, forcing errant throws into protection. General, Taulia Tagovailoa is a assured, cell passer who shines within the RPO sport, however his lack of top-tier bodily traits will make it robust for him to beat inconsistent decision-making within the NFL.
It’s a minicamp invite so don’t count on an entire lot, however John Schneider did say the Seahawks have been wanting into including a few quarterbacks after the draft. San Jose State’s Chevon Cordeiro was signed as a UDFA, so maybe Taulia could have his shot to show rookie minicamp right into a roster spot in coaching camp.
