Tua Tagovailoa has heard the myriad trade rumors involving himself and Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. How could he not have?

But the Dolphins quarterback, coming off what some might Tim Williams Jersey describe as a disappointing rookie campaign, isn't worried about getting moved to Houston after just one season in Miami. The No. 5 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft said as much Monday in a radio interview with Dan Patrick:

Miles Boykin Jersey "That's something that I can't control. I don't have any control over those trade deals and what not. Kenneth Dixon Jersey " - on his name being involved in trade talks surrounding Deshaun Watson.

"That's something that I can't control," Tagovailoa told Patrick. "I don't have any control over those trade deals and whatnot."

WATSON TRADE RUMORS:

Tagovailoa was also a good sport when Patrick asked whether he should wait till August to buy one of his jerseys:

"Well, Sam Koch Jersey honestly, I'm not too sure," Tagovailoa said, smiling. "Like I said, I can't control things that I can't control."

Tagovailoa later went on to describe his rookie campaign as "below average" in his interview with Patrick. The rookie went 6-3 as a starter but was repeatedly pulled for veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick most notably in a narrow win Jimmy Smith Jersey over Las Vegas in Week 16. For the year, Morgan Cox Jersey Tagovailoa completed 186 pa ses out of 290 attempts (64.1 percent) for 1,814 yards and 11 touchdowns to five interceptions; he also ran for three touchdowns.

Tagovailoa's rookie season wasn't the worst in NFL history, but looked le s than favorable when juxtaposed against fellow rookies Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow Jaylon Ferguson Jersey and Jalen Hurts. That the Dolphins barely mi sed the postseason, even with a playoff-caliber defense, didn't help matters.

Tagovailoa certainly has support for 2021 from Dolphins GM Earl Thomas III Jersey Chris Grier and coach Brian Flores publicly, at least. But that was before Watson's reported rift with the Texans reached a point that he wanted a trade out of Houston. One of the first involved sending Tagovailoa and multiple draft choices (including, potentially, both Miami's Nos. 3 and 18 picks of the 2021 draft) to Houston in return for Watson.

Regardle s of whether that trade comes to pa s or if Anthony Averett Jersey Tagovailoa has another shot to prove himself remains to be seen. Although, that is something the second-year quarterback can control.

In my mind and in my heart I would like to hope so, Tagovailoa said. But for me, with the way things went last year, you always have to prove yourself to do better and I Ronnie Stanley Jersey want to do better."
