Fox Sports Films is planning to air a documentary about Miami Dolphins rookie Tua Tagovailoa.

Variety's Joe Otterson shared a statement from Charlie Dixon, Fox Sports' executive vice president of content, about the project, which is titled Tua.

"Tua is a beloved young star with an incredible story," Dixon said. "We like to say, 'Fox is Football,' and since it's in our DNA, that means providing the deepest insight into the sport both on and off the field. The film's level of access and pure emotion provides a new level of appreciation for his journey."

Tua will focus partially on Tagovailoa's recovery from the dislocated hip that abruptly ended his 2019 season. Dr. Lyle Cain, who serves as Alabama's team physician, was interviewed for the documentary.

While fans have yet to see Tagovailoa back in action, the Dolphins' decision to select him fifth overall in the 2020 draft played down fears that the injury would significantly derail his football career.

The first airing of Tua will be Sept. 6 at 4 p.m. ET on Fox.

No offense to the kid, but what is the validation for a documentary on someone who has yet to do anything at the highest level? Are they going to talk about his abusive dad and how he was beaten for a bad game or practice and how he was forced to become left-handed? Just wondering...

I believe it's a lot of focus on what he did in College. Hope it doesn't jinx him. Tua himself seems a pretty humble guy.

I agree. I don't understand why they are doing a documentary about him now. As far as his father... I am not against corporal punishment in any way. I think it's a very solid principle. But, hitting your kid with a belt for throwing an interception goes beyond discipline. Football is a game...nothing more. In the grand scheme thing of things, it's not that important. Hitting a teenager (or any kid) with a belt because of a mistake in a game just leaves me shaking my head . Forcing Tua to throw left handed makes Galu no different than Marv Marinovich. I don't get that either. Being a left-handed QB isn't exactly a desirable quality (the way a left-handed pitcher is). The list of good left-handed NFL Qb's is hsort. the list of great edns at 3 (Young, Stabler, and Esiason). Young wa s agreat QB. Stabler didn't have great numbers (aside from completion percentage) but he had other qualities that made him great. Esiason is (IMO) the most underrated QB of the late 80's, early 90's. Zorn was good, not great (on a mostly bad team). Albert was a college star that didn't translate to professional football in a big way (a la Tebow). Scott Mitchell occassionally reeked of awesomenss. Other times, he just reeked.
 
Overcame his daddy beating him, small stature, and a bunch of injuries.

Looking forward to seeing TUA.

I’m thrilled this young man is the Dolphins QB but I’d rather spit in his dads face than ever shake his hand.
 
I see a lot of haters on here. What did he do to deserve a documentary? What about being one of the greatest college QB's of all time? He could never play another down in his life and he would be documentary worthy.

I for one am very in interested in seeing the film.
