Mac Jones could well be the most underrated quarterback in the SEC going into the 2020 season. His body of work is limited and the two pick-sixes against Auburn taint his reputation. Replacing the greatest Alabama football quarterback in decades leads to Mac being discounted.
Mac may surpass expectations. He will be protected by a veteran offensive line. The running back roster is loaded. Even without Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III, Devonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle can lead a strong receiving group. Mac could end up being the QB of an SEC and National Champion.
Until those championships are won, Mac must be compared with other SEC quarterbacks based on past performance.
