Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is looking pretty unrecognizable these days.
During the offseason, Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel revealed that Tua had lost weight ahead of the season to be lighter on his feet on the field.

“We were not on an offseason weight program last year — it was strength. So him getting stronger and the unintended consequences for him personally and he saw his game, his strength increased but he felt like he could have the same amount of strength and kind of reshape his body and be a little lighter on his feet.”
“He can maintain those strength gains while also being a little more limber in the pocket,” McDaniel said Tuesday. “I think is what’s drove him to kind of attack that, which he’s done a great job of.”
On Thursday night, Tua was seen for the first time in public after his weight loss and he looked completely unrecognizable.

Apparently Tua was also clean-shaven for the first time in a long time.
You guys are too much with the comments 😂 trust me it’s Tua. Just clean shaven. He was great with fans taking pics and signing autographs. pic.twitter.com/tEoEQol8AV
