For much of his time at Alabama, Mac Jones was an afterthought. He was just that nice guy that everybody liked that met him, somebody who didn’t bellyache about lack of playing time and seemed content to ride the bench and finish his time at Alabama with a championship ring and a lot of memories.
Then Jalen Hurts transferred and he became the number two. Then Tua went down and he became number one. Truly he is a living example of Alabama’s “Next Man Up” philosophy and he did not disappoint.
It was apparent that Jones had talent.
