Notably missing from the list was quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

As local 10′s Clay Ferraro pointed out, in 2020, every NFL team named their starting quarterback as a captain.

It’s been a busy offseason for Tagovailoa as he looks to get into improved physical shape.

The second-year quarterback also heard plenty of whispers about rumors of the Dolphins trading for Deshaun Watson.

For their part, the Dolphins have backed Tagovailoa.

Owner Stephen Ross denied any interest in Watson and head coach Brian Flores told the team that Tua is their guy.
