The 2022 NFL season was statistically the best of Tua Tagovailoa’s career, but it may have also been the most trying as the third-year quarterback dealt with multiple concussions. 

Tagovailoa threw for a career-high in yards (3,548) and touchdowns (25) as the Miami Dolphins made the postseason in Mike McDaniel's first year as head coach.

While Miami made the postseason after going 9-8 during the regular season, the Dolphins were forced to start rookie Skylar Thompson in the Wild Card Game as Tagovailoa sat with his second documented concussion of the season.

Tagovailoa missed five starts in total during the year, leading many to question his football future. 

One NFL legend shared some advice for Tagovailoa as he enters his fourth NFL season, suggesting the Alabama product put on weight and avoid taking big hits. 

"I just think he's got to bulk up a little bit. Get a little bit bigger. Get stronger. As you grow into your man body, that’s what needs to happen. Ain’t nothing wrong with picking up another 10 pounds, 15 pounds," 13-year NFL veteran Michael Vick said on Tyreek Hill’s podcast.
