Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa appointed to Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. [View all]

Tagovailoa called his appointment "an honor," although "he is still figuring out exactly what it means."

"Trump also named Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley as a council member, but Barkley has since clarified that he declined the invitation."

"During the news conference in which he announced the council, Trump mispronounced Tagovailoa's last name before calling him a 'great guy' and urging him to stay healthy...The Dolphins quarterback laughed off the mispronunciation when asked about it Wednesday...When asked how his appointment came together, Tagovailoa said he didn't know why he was named."
