NFL Combine live blog Day 3: Tracking Notre Dame DL Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa
It’s easy for Notre Dame fans to root for Fighting Irish products to make it to the next level. It’s even easier for them to root for defensive lineman Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa.
Tagovailoa-Amosa, a native of Hawaii and cousin of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, was a team captain in 2021. Just a few days into fall camp last August, his father unexpectedly passed away. He flew back to the islands to be with family for just over a week, and when he returned to South Bend he was ready to get to work in preparation for the Irish’s season-opener at Florida State.
They don’t make too many with the heart of Tagovailoa-Amosa.
“He runs on the field, and next thing you know he goes, ‘Coach, can I get in on the drills?'” new Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman said as the defensive coordinator in August. Tagovailoa-Amosa had just flown all night and arrived at the team facility for an early-morning practice.

Here’s a running live blog of how Tagovailoa-Amosa has performed in Saturday’s combine workouts.
