Tua Tagovailoa says it's an 'honor' to be on Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition

Tagovailoa was not at the event, as he is busy in training camp, but at the very least, he is proud to be a part of the team.

"I think it's pretty cool - it's an honor," he said about being appointed. 

Tagovailoa admitted that he did not "know too much about it," and was "not too sure" how the situation developed.

Gary Bettman, Cody Campbell, Roger Goodell, Wayne Gretzky, Nelly Korda, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Mariano Rivera, Tony Romo and Matthew Tkachuk were also named to the Council, according to the White House. Saquon Barkley declined.

Back in March, Ivanka Trump, the daughter of the president, posted photos on her Instagram that showed Tagovailoa and wide receiver Braxton Berrios getting in on some family fun.

Tagovailoa's wife, Annah, has previously shown support for the president. Back in October, Annah posted a story to her Instagram on Wednesday that praised Trump's pre-emptive response to Hurricane Milton.

While Annah received some praise for her post, there were a few negative comments aimed at her and her husband.
