Tua Tagovailoa pulled off a significant weight gain by working hard at the gym during the NFL offseason and everyone is showering praises on him for that. Fantasy Pro‘s reporter Derek Brown tweeted about how he did a double take because he didn’t recognize that it was Tua immediately after he spotted him post his body transformation. He wrote,
Tua LOOKS THICC. I double taked watching a practice vid. Is that AJ Dillon tossing passes?
He continued in the comment section,
And no I don’t think this is a bad thing..dude looks like he’s been crushing the weight room.
Tua Tagovailoa beefing up during the offseason has delighted many fans who were dreading the prospect of him retiring so soon because of the injuries. They were so disheartened when Tua admitted that he had been mulling over retirement. He said that he considered retirement for a time and he even sat down with his family and his wife to have those kind of conversations about his career. Now, he’s come back so much healthier and stronger with extra weight gain.
It would have been very hard for fans to see him leave so soon. They are glad that Tua felt the same way about retiring.
But it would be really hard for me to walk away from this game with how old I am, with my son. I always dreamed of playing as long as I could to where my son knew exactly what he was watching, that he’s watching his dad. It’s my health, it’s my body, and I feel like this is what’s best for me and my family.
How delighted Tua Tagovailoa’s fans are right now that they are not talking about his retirement and just praising him for managing to pull off that noticeable weight gain during the offseason despite sustaining several injuries!
