The New England Patriots are an interesting intersection of former college football greats from the great state of Alabama. Alabama Crimson Tide National Championship winning QB Mac Jones enters the QB room as the #15 pick to compete for the starting job with former Auburn football QBs Cam Newton and Jarrett Stidham.
Truly, it’s a two-horse race between Jones and Newton. Stidham was noted by QB coach Jordan Palmer to have a skill set that’s far from NFL-ready due to the lack of preparedness the offenses of Baylor’s Art Briles and former Auburn football HC Gus Malzahn set him up for.
