Alabama star Tua Tagovailoa ended the speculation over his football future on Monday by declaring for the 2020 NFL Draft, and despite the serious hip injury that cut his college career short earlier this year, Tagovailoa is expected to be a first-round draft pick that could potentially be selected inside the top 10. Tagovailoa was widely considered to be the best QB available in the 2020 class at the start of the college football season, but the rise of Joe Burrow, combined with Tagovailoa’s multiple injuries, has hurt his stock somewhat.

Not everyone is sold on Tagovailoa as a surefire franchise quarterback, however. During an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show, ESPN analyst Ryan Leaf, famously taken behind Payton Manning in the 1998 NFL Draft, Leaf said that he feels that Tagovailoa will struggle with one of the same things he struggled with during his short NFL career – avoiding pressure and hits from defenders.
