The rising star QB of the Miami Dolphins, Tua Tagovailoa, is in a better position than he was two months ago. After taking a brutal hit against the Cincinnati Bengals, the QB came back stronger and better. Part of the reason he looks so recharged is his newborn boy!

Thanksgiving is near. Therefore, the 24-year-old wanted to express his gratitude to his wife and his little son. The Alabama University product spoke to reporters. He talked about being a husband to his wife, Annah Gore, and mentioned his son for the first time.

“I’m thankful for a lot of things, very thankful for a lot of things. I would say I first off have to be thankful for my family, my parents, my siblings. I’m very thankful for my wife. I’m very thankful for our child that we have together. I am also very thankful for our coaches and our coaching staff,” Tagovailoa said. The new father said that having a daughter would have been difficult since he grew up with cousins who were boys. However, he would have managed.

Along with being thankful for his loving family, he thanked his teammates, “the janitors that are around here, the kitchen people, everyone that is a part of this organization.”
