At one point, scouts thought that Taulia Tagovailoa could be better than his older brother Tua Tagovailoa, but flash forward half a decade and despite putting up huge numbers at Maryland, Taulia Tagovailoa does not seem to have a great chance at having an NFL career and is slated near the bottom of most mock drafts. Today, I want to talk about why this is happening, how Taulia got to this point and his college career, enjoy!

    His last name is the only reason he was a "big time" prospect. He knew he wasn't going to be drafted, the reason he wanted another year of eligibility.
  • @kendallbudlow8423
    As a Maryland fan, I just never saw the talent against the good teams. I think it's the fact that he is not as athletic as a Kyler Murray at his size that held him back.
  • @epeck1115
    I love that at around the 2:30 mark you say he left Hawaii for the States.
  • @bigredbass7898
    I dont know a lot about this guy, but i can say one thing, when he played Nebraska last season, i saw a guy with a lot of heart that kept fighting and won the game. Props to that dude.
  • @bbb4228
    Anybody who said he was better than Tua never watched him play. Dude doesn’t have the arm talent to be in the NFL. I could see him playing in the UFL.

    Keep up the grind!! Rlly enjoying these last few videos. A video on Dylan Morris would be pretty cool. I grew up around the area he went to school at and I remember him being a 4 or 5 star recruit. Was looking forward to what he could do at UW but ig things jus didn’t pan out
  • @NyneWolf
    I feel like you have to watch every game like us maryland fans to understand how good he is. he is NOT trash bro, he can 100% play NFL football
  • @aarontracy5160
    Best Tagovailoa athlete was Fano T. He was a freak athlete who played for Utah. Wish TT all the best. Great family.
  • @Vinnie-Venom
    Oh man, I graduated from Thompson so crazy to hear you say that name
  • @12thMandalorian
    Welcome to Seattle! Hopefully he shows off his talent and secured the QB3 position
  • @jok3r906
    He was compared to his brother, rather than letting him be himself... Along with the size factor
  • @rotcoke652
    He really wasn't considered a phenom coming out of HS. He didn't have near the same hype as his brother. Tua was the elite 11 MVP and #1 dual threat QB. Taulia was 180th overall which is like mid tier 4 star.
  • @NyneWolf
    bro you’re acting like he had extensive years in the big 10 which would contribute to the reason he has 12,000 passing yards. He only played 4 years at maryland and a few snaps at bama
  • @danfishell
    I think that he will be in the UFL next year. He can still work his way into an NFL opportunity in the future if he can get the right coaching.
  • @theshadowswithin9896
    Seattle is bringing him in for a tryout at rookie minicamp, so he still has a shot.
  • @markmitchelle9240
    Thanks for the info. Seahawks are trying him out. We’ll see what happens.
  • @SunKingMCD
    I watched him all 3 years at College Park and he definitely had his moments. The Penn State game his sophomore year. He was 41/57 371 yards. The next week he threw for over 400.. The 2 interceptions in 2023 vs Michigan sunk him. They were in that game the entire way. His turnovers killed them. That ended his NFL chances.

    BREAKING NEWS: He was invited to Seahawks rookie camp
