Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) on Friday, April 10, attempted to quell claims he’s injury prone. ‘I’m not playing badminton. I’m not on the swim team,’ Tagovailoa said during an Instagram Live show. ‘(Football) is a physical sport. You’re gonna get hurt. That just comes with it. And it was just very unfortunate that I got hurt every season. It’s a part of the game. It’s a contact sport. I can only control what I can control. I can’t control that.’

Footballguys View: Wills played right tackle for the Crimson Tide, but he protected the blind side of a left-handed quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa. He’s likely the top OT in this draft class and should go off the board with a top-10 pick.
