“I just feel like he’s not going to stop playing football,' Taulia Tagovailoa said of his older brother, Tua Tagovailoa. 'I feel like every opportunity he has, he is going to try to play. I don’t know, it’s just go until the wheels fall off.”
The term ataxia was added to the mandatory no-go symptoms, with ataxia defined as “abnormality of balance/stability, motor coordination or dysfunctional speech caused by a neurological issue.” A player diagnosed with ataxia by any club or neutral physician in the application of the concussion protocol will not be able to return to the game.
“I want him to always be safe, but at the same time play the game that he loves and do what he loves to do and see him happy,”. “In life, I feel like we all have to make those tough decisions regardless of what he feels like doing at the moment. There are lot more years and a lot of more time, too, because he’s still young.”
After that season, Tua Tagovailoa joined the Dolphins as the fifth selection in the 2020 NFL Draft and Taulia Tagovailoa transferred to Maryland.
