Tua Tagovailoa showed he's changed when he 'stopped Miami Dolphins practice'

Tua Tagovailoa stopped a Miami Dolphins offseason practice session to address his teammates and hold them accountable demonstrating how the quarterback has become a leader within the AFC East locker room.

Last season, Tagovailoa - the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft - enjoyed the best year of his career to date as he led the NFL in passer rating (105.5). In doing so, he became the first Dolphins quarterback to achieve such a feat since the legendary Dan Marino back in 1984.

While the 25-year-old struggled with concussions in 2022, the Dolphins triggered Tagovailoa’s fifth-year option this offseason. The option locks the quarterback into a fully-guaranteed salary of $23.2m (£18.9m) for the 2024 campaign - which is a big financial commitment to a quarterback who was limited to just 13 games last season.
