Tua Tagovailoa says he considered retiring after multiple concussions

Tua Tagovalioa has just revealed that he was considering quitting his NFL career due to the numerous concussions he suffered last season... but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to take his retirement.

The Dolphins quarterback — who missed several games last season with head injuries — told reporters Wednesday that the concussion that ended his season in December actually thought him to his future.

“I think I thought about it for a while,” Tua said. "I sat down with my family and I sat down with my wife and I had these conversations. But it would be hard for me to walk away from this game, with my age, with my son."

"I always dreamed of growing up, playing as long as possible until my son knew exactly what he was watching his father do. It's my health. It's my body. I I feel like it's the best for me and my family. I love football."

Tagovailoa, 25, suffered what appeared to be his first head injury of the season against the Bills in September, then suffered a devastating concussion days later against the Bengals.

The scene in Cincinnati was scary... he passed out after hitting his head on the ground while being tackled - and had to be dragged off the field. He was out of action for the next two weeks before returning for the Dolphins' game against the Steelers in Week 7.
