The Miami Dolphins provided their final answer for the intrigue surrounding Tua Tagovailoa that flowed from his surgically repaired hip: We’ll take him.No player selected in the NFL Draft that commenced Thursday night will be under as much scrutiny from a physical standpoint than Tagovailoa, the former Alabama quarterback whose college career ended abruptly in November with a fractured and dislocated right hip.
