Congratulations to Tua on a well-deserved honor.
Roll Tide!

2013: Jameis Winston
2014: Marcus Mariota
2015: Derrick Henry
2016: Lamar Jackson
2017: Baker Mayfield
With Tua Tagovailoa winning the 2018 award, will that streak continue?
Update 2: Add another one to the list as Tua also takes home the Maxwell Award.
