Threaded Fasteners Nuts and Bolts of the Game: Tua is smooth on, off field

Threaded Fasteners Nuts and Bolts of the Game

Tua Tagovailoa has got game.

That’s obvious on the football field, where he won a national championship at Alabama on his way to becoming the fifth pick in this year’s NFL Draft.

But off the field, he’s proving to be just as smooth.

This week, Tagovailoa did a fun interview for fans of the Miami Dolphins. When he was asked his guilty pleasure singer, he said country star Shania Twain.

He doubled down when asked his celebrity crush, when he again said Twain. He even went so far as to ask her to message him.

Well, she did. Twain, who is 32 years older than Tua, wrote “Guilty pleasure? You should be proud of your good taste.”

Tua responded with “You’re still the one,” a reference to one of Twain’s biggest hits.

I would imagine that’s as far as the encounter will go. But it was another chance for Tagovailoa to show that he’s not your average 22-year old.
