VIDEO: Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa is Keeping His Spirits up While at the Hospital
After all he's been through, no one would be able to blame Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa if he was feeling down after suffering his scary, season-ending hip injury. Instead, the young man is doing his best to stay positive and was even spotted playing the ukulele from his hospital bed on Sunday. Good luck not smiling after watching this, Crimson Tide fans:
Tua Tagovailoa out here breakin' hearts from his hospital bed. ??

Tua, who was widely expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, went down in the first half of Alabama's dominant win over Mississippi State on Saturday.
He's set to undergo hip surgery on Monday and will then begin what's expected to be a long recovery process. However, that's not going to stop the man from jamming out.
Let’s check in on Tua Tagovailoa in the hospital.... ? if this doesn’t bring a smile to your face, I don’t know what will. Great to see @Tuaamann being the fun-loving, optimistic young man we all know. Amazing faith and strength! #RollTide #Alabama

Or keep him from dancing. It's quite honestly amazing to see Tua stay up after facing this kind of adversity.
But, if there's anything we've learned from him during his time in Tuscaloosa, it's that he's a warrior and he won't let this little bump in the road be the final chapter of his promising story.
