Tom Rinaldi of ESPN highlights Mac Jones’ journey in leading Alabama to the CFP

For Mac Jones, this season has been epic.

To go from being doubted to becoming a Heisman finalist is an understatement, especially when one looks at what went in to his incredible campaign as a first-year starting quarterback for Alabama football. In a society where it becomes easy to quit and leave a situation that does not suit an individual, Jones wanted to be developed and he enjoyed the pressures of constant competition.

He learned behind two outstanding leaders, Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa, and despite not being the popular name in the preseason, every critic has felt the shame of counting him out.
