Mac Jones’ struggles are familiar to Tua Tagovailoa as the ex-Alabama QBs prepare to meet

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:29:38 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been in a situation similar to Mac Jones’ current predicament.Miami made Tagovailoa the fifth overall pick in the 2020 draft after he led Alabama to a national title. But his NFL career started slowly, and he was heavily criticized during his first two seasons.Jones, another national championship winner for the Crimson Tide, is facing similar adversity in his third year as New England’s starter. He has shouldered blame for the Patriots’ 2-5 start, and New England faces another challenge when it visits Tagovailoa and the Dolphins (5-2) on Sunday.Tagovailoa’s solution was to tune out outside commentary as much as possible and focus on himself.

I stick to m...
