NFL quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones have gone on divergent professional paths since both players were at Alabama together.
Tagovailoa has been thriving with the Miami Dolphins over the past two years under head coach Mike McDaniel, while Jones, who is playing under his third offensive coordinator in three seasons, has embarked on an up-and-down career with the New England Patriots.
Despite the different starts, one unnamed NFC executive expressed faith in Jones and believes that he "would have similar results" to Tagovailoa if he was in the latter team's offense.
Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated relayed the remarks.
