Jaylen Waddle, like DeVonta Smith chooses Mac Jones over Tua Tagovailoa when asked quarterback preference

Last week, Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith made waves online when he shared his preference between his quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones.

Smith, who has great respect for both, ultimately chose Jones as his preferred quarterback during an interview with Monday Morning Quarterback’s senior NFL reporter, Albert Breer.

“One team asked Smith, point blank: Tua Tagovailoa or Jones? The question was barely finished before Smith answered: Mac Jones. He was bold and definitive about it, as I heard it,” Breer wrote.

On Wednesday it was fellow receiver Jaylen Waddle’s turn to answer the question from NFL Network’s Andrew Siciliano and he had a very similar response to the Heisman Trophy winner.
