"The Miami Dolphins had their choice in the 2020 draft of who would be the second quarterback off the board after the Cincinnati Bengals made Joe Burrow the No. 1 pick. In case you haven't been paying attention the past five years, the Dolphins chose Tagovailoa. The Los Angeles Chargers, with the ensuing selection, picked Herbert. Since, Tagovailoa is 39-28, while Herbert is 44-40. Tagovailoa has thrown 110 touchdowns to 48 interceptions. Herbert has 145 touchdowns to 49 interceptions. Tagovailoa is 68.3 percent of his passes and has thrown for 16,514 yards. Herbert has a completion percentage of 66.4 and 22,322 passing yards."
"Each has a Pro Bowl appearance. Herbert was Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2020. Neither has a playoff win. In their three previous meetings, Tagovailoa has won two, including being the lone passer to win on the road in the series. Both quarterbacks got their second contracts with their respective teams. Herbert is off to a better start within the 2025 season, but his Chargers are reeling of late, dropping their past two after starting 3-0. Tagovailoa's Dolphins, of course, are off to a 1-4 start, most recently blowing a 17-point lead at the Carolina Panthers last Sunday."
""I know everyone wants to do the comparisons with all the dudes that were in my draft class," Tagovailoa said Wednesday, with Burrow, Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts and Green Bay's Jordan Love also in the class, "but all you can do is be happy for the guys where they're at in their life of football and wish the best for them.""
Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert were consecutive picks in the 2020 NFL draft and have posted similar career production since. Tagovailoa is 39-28 with 110 touchdowns and 16,514 passing yards; Herbert is 44-40 with 145 touchdowns and 22,322 passing yards. Both have Pro Bowl selections, Herbert earned Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2020, and neither has a playoff victory. The Chargers began 3-0 but have dropped two straight; the Dolphins are 1-4 after a blown 17-point lead. The two quarterbacks meet Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium while Tagovailoa declines direct comparisons.
