I promise I’m not trying to drive the Mac Jones bandwagon too hard. It’s a lazy Sunday and I’m trying to give you something to chew on while it’s -47 degrees outside. But for what it’s worth, at least two veteran college coaches have heaped praise on Alabama’s quarterback.
First there was June Jones, the long-time college and NFL coach who knows a thing or two about pass-heavy offenses and quarterback play. He came out swinging with a hot take, naming Jones his #1 quarterback in the class – yes, even above Trevor Lawrence – and saying while he lacks an elite arm, was the best deep ball thrower in this draft.
