Former GM and NFL analyst Michael Lombardi says two teams have told him that Tua Tagovailoa failed their pre-draft physicals, Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post reports.

In what could either be prophetic or a smokescreen, former NFL general manager Michael Lombardi said on his podcast that two teams have flunked former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in their pre-draft physicals.

Not gonna lie, he’d be awfully tempting if he fell to 17. And I like Dak.

If a guy (a QB) who was being discussed as a #1 overall pick falls to you at 17 you gotta take him. Yes it's risky. But the payoff would be huge if it works out. Plus, it would give us immediate leverage with Dak.

If he falls to 17, then he has big red flags on his medicals.

What if one of the teams that have him as failing their physical is Dallas?

He’s failing physicals and people still want to draft him early. Smh....

I think a player has to be declared dead for Dallas to fail them on the physical. Even then Jerry may still select them in the 2nd round. lol

"we have the technology, we can rebuild him"

It really depends on why he failed. Is he just not ready now or does he have some defect that will lead to being easily reinjured in the future?

This means very, very little. He just had major surgery so of course he failed the physicals. He's not ready to play yet. The issue isn't failing a physical, it's if he's still on schedule with his recovery. I still expect him to be a very high pick unless something very serious caused him to fail.

SMH

lol anybody but Dak

 

[Montanalo]

I wonder to what extent Lombardi's report is disinformation?

I also wonder when these team physicals took place since teams are not allowed to interview prospective players directly?

Funny but true. I mean JJ drafted Jaylon when he couldn’t even feel his own foot. Tua may not be immediately available to play due to whatever he failed for but I don’t see it as serious as Jaylon’s injury. Sit him for a year to heal up completely if he’s available in the early rounds.

So do we know how many teams have given him a physical? I mean if it's 32 teams and 2 say he failed and 30 say he passed then what's the big deal. If on the other hand he has had maybe 4 team physicals and 2 teams have failed him, well then maybe there is a problem. Need more facts to make an informed decision

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Hmmm. Odd. Just yesterday I was reading why does Jerry draft injured players other teams pass on.

I wonder what teams would even give him a physical? Wouldn’t it only be teams drafting early or in that top 25?

Ya, that seems to be known at this point it seems.

 

[nightrain]

What are the criteria of the physicals?

 

[G2]

These physicals aren't just a quick temperature check, turn and cough. They're borderline ridiculous how thorough they are and if a player fails the physical then there's a fairly high chance other teams will come to the same conclusion. There has to be factual and legitimate reasons to pass or fail.

Here's some info on it:

He will still be gone by 17. IMO.

it just takes one team to pass him on the physical. And then the talent is too much to pass up.

IF he fell to 17. I would be fine with Dallas drafting him. Should they choose to do it. I don’t think they will. But I would be perfectly fine with it.
