Tua Tagovailoa Was Not Named a Dolphins Captain

Tua Tagovailoa is entering the second year of his NFL career and there are a ton of questions surrounding him as the Dolphins starting quarterback.  One of those questions got answered on Wednesday when he wasn't named a team captain by his teammates.

With all of the quarterback trade rumors that surrounded the Dolphins this offseason, it would seem as if the front office is sold on Tua.  Not being named a captain means his teammates aren't sold on him either.

There's a reason for all of the doubt.  He didn't exactly light it up last season.  In 10 games last season, 9 as a starter, Tua threw for 1,814 yards with 11 touchdowns and 5 interceptions.

It's good to see that despite the changes Alabama made to their offense recently, their quarterbacks still aren't doing much in the NFL.  This wouldn't have happened to Deshaun Watson.
