Tua Tagovailoa said being assured he'd likely remain a high NFL draft pick could make "the biggest decision of my life" a little easier. The Alabama quarterback is still weighing his options and going through rehab for the right hip injury that ended his junior season - and potentially his career with the 11th-ranked Crimson Tide. Once regarded as a potential No. 1 overall pick, Tagovailoa said Thursday that if he feels he'll still be a Top 10 or 15 pick, that might be too tempting to stick around. "I t hink that'd be tough to pass up," he said, sitting in a chair where the podium normally rests during Alabama news conferences. "But I think there's a lot more to it than that in some aspects." Tagovailoa stopped there, saying he wants to have that conver sation with his family not reporters.The quarterback doesn't have a timeline on when he will make that decision, saying it could come right before the Jan. 20 deadline for underclassmen to declare for the NFL draft. "This is probably going to be t he biggest decision of my life," Tagovailoa said. "This is where I seek advice from what I believe and this is where I seek advice from my parents. But truly at the end of the day, the decision comes down to me, whether I feel like it's right for me to s tay or whether it's right for me to go. "It's just a really, really big decision, and everybody just wants to know. That's what makes it even bigger, I'd say." - AP College Football
