There has been a lot of speculation surrounding Alabama star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and whether he would be entering the 2020 NFL Draft following a hip injury he suffered against Mississippi State.

Well, Tony Pauline with Pro Football Network is reporting that Tagovailoa is learning towards entering the draft, and the former Heisman Trophy runner-up is telling people that:

Here is what Pauline said about Tagovailoa during an episode of the NFL Draft Insiders podcast, which is through Pro Football Network:

“I am told by people who are close to him that Tagovailoa is telling people that he is very likely to enter the 2020 NFL Draft. This shouldn’t be a surprise – maybe it’s just an affirmation to some people. But I think right now, the chances of him returning to Alabama, from what I’m hearing from people close to him, are very, very slim.”

It will be interesting to see whether or not this actually comes to fruition. It would absolutely make sense considering how much Tagovailoa would be risking returning for his senior season.

During his 32 career games played, which only 23 were games in which he started, Tagovailoa completed 69.3 percent of his passes for 7,442 yards, 87 touchdowns and only 11 interceptions.
