Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa showed Peyton and Eli Manning that he is a man of many talents.
Tagovailoa joined Monday night’s ‘ManningCast’ on ESPN and showed off his guitar-playing skills with a rendition of ‘Tears in Heaven’ by Eric Clapton.
‘I can play maybe ‘Tears in Heaven’ [by] Eric Clapton,’ Tagovailoa said.
‘Let’s go, let’s hear it,’ Peyton responded.
The Mannings were immediately impressed as Tagovailoa flawlessly played through the iconic chord pattern. Tagovailoa continued soothingly playing as Peyton sang his commentary to Clapton’s melody.

‘The [Cincinnati] Bengals jumped offsides,’ Peyton sang. ‘I got this, I got this.’
‘Please no,’ Eli responded. ‘No one wants to hear you sing.’
Peyton told Tagovailoa to keep playing while he continuously sang plays in a hilarious manner. The singing resulted in laughs from Eli and Tagovailoa, the latter stopped playing his guitar shortly after.
‘You guys are hilarious,’ Tagovailoa said as the Mannings applauded his performance.
‘That’s why we had Peyton,’ Tagovailoa responded when Eli asked him why he did not sing along with his guitar-playing.
Tagovailoa is rightfully relaxing in a music room after leading the Dolphins to a 45-15 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday.
Tagovailoa made 18 out of 24 passes for 280 yards in a 45-15 win over Washington on Sunday
Tagovailoa completed 18 out of 24 passes for 280 yards and two touchdowns, including a 60-yard launch to wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Postgame, Hill praised Tagovailoa for the pass which allowed him enough time to change his running angle on the fly.
‘Tua threw the ball exactly where I was suppose to be,’ Hill said of the pass. ‘He noticed my angle put enough air time on it just to give me time to adjust.’
Tagovailoa is finding a lot of success this season as one of the top facilitators in the NFL. Tagovailoa is third in the NFL in passing yards with 3,457.
The Dolphins have one of the best records in the NFL with a 9-3 standing on top of the AFC East. Miami have won their last three games with five left in the regular season.
