Tua Tagovailoa’s new endorsement has fans straight up clowning Dolphins QB - “What does it do for CTE?”

Tua Tagovailoa has an extensive injury history during his short NFL career, including a concerning number of concussions. He suffered at least two of them during the 2022 NFL season, forcing him to miss extended time.

Tagovailoa's future was also put into jeopardy as the intensity of these head injuries could have potentially been career-ending.

After taking time to debate his future, Tua Tagovailoa officially decided to continue his career ahead of the 2023 NFL season. The promising young quarterback has extremely high expectations, as long as he can stay healthy.

Advertisers are well aware of his star potential as he recently landed a major endorsement deal with Muscle Milk.

While this is a wise financial move for Tagovailoa, NFL fans used the announcement as an opportunity to troll him on social media. Many of them went on Twitter to clown the quarterback and continue their constant questioning about his ability to avoid injuries and stay on a football field.

Tagovailoa has consistently claimed that his primary focus moving forward with the Miami Dolphins is to work on avoiding injuries. He has apparently worked with the franchise to seek alternative training methods such as martial arts, including judo to teach himself how to better protect himself when being tackled. Fans are anxious to see if it pays off for him.
