MIAMI — The pervasive optimism about Tua Tagovailoa around the Dolphins organization isn’t merely rooted in the fact that his supporting cast has been augmented and that an offensive savant — with a quarterback-friendly offense to boot — has been hired as head coach.
It’s also rooted in the reality that he’s in a better place physically, with a leaner physique, a stronger arm and a fully healed body.
For the latter, credit Tagovailoa’s dedication to a strenuous offseason regimen, and credit his trainer, Nick Hicks, for implementing that program and guiding him every step of the way.
