2021 NFL scouting report: Alabama QB Mac Jones

Mac Jones is another quarterback prospect that will garner attention from teams as a starter from the University of Alabama. Jones gained the starting QB position after a major injury of Tua Tagovailoa, and after performing well, never relinquished the starting spot.

In his Junior year, Jones ended up with 4,500 yards passing on a 77.4% completion percentage, threw for 44 touchdowns, and only tossed 4 interceptions. He also led Alabama to yet another National Championship under Nick Saban, so from a production standpoint, he’s looked good.

Production isn’t close to everything, though. Jones, unlike the other top QB prospects, is more of a pure pocket passer, and he’ll surprise you with his tools more than blow you away with them.
