Why young Alabama QB has been compared to a tennis legend
Behind the scenes, one of Alabama’s coaches has at least once jokingly compared the Crimson Tide’s third-string quarterback to a well-known former tennis player.
Mac Jones is somewhat similar to tennis legend John McEnroe, that coach apparently said.
Though not anywhere near the level of McEnroe’s old temper tantrums, Jones will sometimes react poorly when something bad happens during practice. But, like back in the day with McEnroe, Jones can be very good when he’s locked in and not dwelling on something negative that may have happened.
