The Miami Dolphins' fanbase is buzzing with excitement on Fourth of July weekend following a major announcement that has cemented quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's status as a rising star in the NFL.

The Dolphins took to X to reveal that Tagovailoa has been ranked #91 on the exclusive NFL Top 100 Players of 2025 list, a testament to his growing impact despite a 2024-25 season hampered by injuries.

The graphic shared by the team showcases Tagovailoa in a vibrant aqua jersey, holding a football with confidence, as the #91 ranking looms large.

Tagovailoa, 27, is coming off a season in which he threw for 2,867 yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions to go along with a stellar 72.9% completion rate.

His ability to lead the NFL in completion percentage last season despite missing six games due to injury underscores the world-class skill he possesses when healthy.

After a disastrous 2024-25 campaign in which the Dolphins went 8-9 and missed the playoffs, the team is desperate to reestablish themselves as contenders in the AFC.

Under the witty leadership of head coach Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins have flashed signs of brilliance, including an 11-6 record in 2023 in a year where Tagovailoa threw for a career-high 4,624 yards.

Fans reactions on X have been a mix of celebration and debate, with some hailing the ranking while others point to his injury history as a cause for concern.

As the 2025 season approaches, this coveted ranking is just the beginning of what could be a stellar year for the young quarterback.
