Former Maryland QB signs with pro team in European League of Football
In this story:
Following an incredible career at the University of Maryland, QB Taulia Tagovailoa went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft. Although he received an invite from the Seattle Seahawks for a minicamp tryout, he ultimately remained unsigned.
Tagovailoa would ultimately take his talents to the CFL (Canadian Football League) and signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. But after one season in the CFL, Tagovailoa was released by the Tiger-Cats ahead of training camp in 2025.
Determined to continue his football career, Tagovailoa is now headed to Germany after signing with the Hamburg Sea Devils in the European League of Football.
