Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been opening up more over the last two years, as he’s seen success on the field.
Prior to Mike McDaniel’s arrival in Miami Gardens, it would be a shock to see Tagovailoa making media appearances and showing off his personality, but that’s exactly what’s happening in 2023.
On Monday, Tagovailoa appeared on ESPN’s “ManningCast” of the Monday Night Football game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The quarterback shared a lot of information about himself and his team, but the best moment came when he took out the guitar and started playing some Eric Clapton for Peyton and Eli Manning.

Tagovailoa showed that he’s gifted in more ways than just athletically, as his performance was pretty solid. Peyton’s singing? Not as good.
Tagovailoa’s showing actually caught the eye of popular musician and famous Dolphins fan Darius Rucker.

Of course, Tagvaoiloa responded.

So, now we wait for the Tagovailoa and Hootie and the Blowfish tour.
