Tua Tagovailoa is one of the former and current athletes to be named to President Donald Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition.

Council Chair Bryson DeChambeau, Lawrence Taylor, Harrison Butker, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, and Annika Sorenstam were at the White House last week when Trump signed an executive order which reestablished the council as well as the Presidential Fitness Test.

Tagovailoa was not at the event, as he is busy in training camp, but at the very least, he is proud to be a part of the team.

"I think it's pretty cool - it's an honor," he said about being appointed. 

Tagovailoa admitted that he did not "know too much about it," and was "not too sure" how the situation developed.

Gary Bettman, Cody Campbell, Roger Goodell, Wayne Gretzky, Nelly Korda, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Mariano Rivera, Tony Romo and Matthew Tkachuk were also named to the Council, according to the White House. Saquon Barkley declined.

Back in March, Ivanka Trump, the daughter of the president, posted photos on her Instagram that showed Tagovailoa and wide receiver Braxton Berrios getting in on some family fun.

She posted a "dump" of several pictures and videos from the month of February, including a photo of her husband, Jared Kushner, with Berrios, Tagovailoa and her son.
