Tua Tagovailoa looks to be back to his old self. Late on Thursday on Twitter, what is likely the first video of the now-former star Alabama quarterback throwing since he was cleared to do so following the dislocated hip he suffered in November of this football season surfaced.

NPA Sports tweeted out two videos of Tagovailoa and his younger brother Taulia throwing.

Tagovailoa was cleared by his doctors on March 9 and was set to throw for NFL teams on April 9, but the SEC will no longer conduct pro days on any of its campuses due to the coronavirus. But that hasn’t stopped a now-cleared Tagovailoa from throwing, per these videos.

“It allows me to do everything,” Tagovailoa said at the NFL Combine. “This rehab process has been gradually getting up as far as workouts with what we’ve been doing. Just strengthening all the parts around the hip -- the glute, the hamstring, the quad. Just being able to be ready that once March 9 hits and we’re cleared to go, I’ll be able to do everything.”

Tagovailoa said the rehab process has been a mental grind, but he noted dealing with his other injuries to his hand and both ankles made him know what to expect in terms of recovery.

He was also well aware of how important his medical evaluations were going to be at the Combine and beyond, even though his medical reports have all been “as positive as possible.”

“We went to the hospital at 10 in the morning yesterday. I was the last person to leave,” Tagovailoa said with a chuckle. “We went there at 10 and I was back by about 7:49 p.m. last night -- so right in time for the informal and formal interviews (laughs).”

Since he suffered the hip injury in mid-November at Mississippi State, the updates have been positive for the left-handed quarterback. Tagovailoa reiterated his doctors expect him to make a full recovery, and he said he will be able to play during the 2020 football season.

Now that he has been cleared, Tagovailoa’s progress has all but cemented the Alabama quarterback as a top-five pick in April’s NFL draft. Teams could look to trade up as high as the No. 3 pick to select the Hawaii, native, assuming LSU’s Joe Burrow and Ohio State’s Chase Young go in the first two picks. But Tagovailoa doesn’t care where he is drafted.

“For me, whatever team decides to pick me, I’d be grateful,” Tagovailoa said. “Whether it’s first or 32nd or 200th, I mean, I’d be grateful just to get picked.”
