That article sounds like the HS coach really thought Tua the better QB even though he wouldn’t say that.

Spins the ball better

Taller.

Better leader

Stronger

Definitely not taller at this point; don't know if he was taller in high school and missed any reference in the article. Mariota is listed as 6-4 in NFL. Tagovailoa is around 6-0.

Tagovailoa and Baker Mayfield seem to be about the same size to me; both are listed as 6-1.

I watched some of the New Orleans Saints the other day and Tagovailoa reminds me of Drew Brees with his quick release and accuracy; Brees is listed at 6-0 in NFL.

I think he' around 6 ft and not much more.

Interestingly, when he went over to hug his family and he hugged is younger brother, he looked a couple of inches taller.

Read an article on 247 that said he measured 6' 3/4" at the Army All Star game. The better news was that he has large hands which NFL folk say is really plus. I think it was Herbstreit who felt that was actually more important than arm strength.
