Leading up to the 2021 NFL draft, few prospects generated more polarizing reactions than did Alabama quarterback Mac Jones.
Most draft analysts agreed that Jones had a fine 2020 season as he put up prolific numbers and helped lead the Crimson Tide to a national championship title.
However, there was a split when it came to NFL projections.
Some saw his limited experience – with only one full season as a college starter – as a detraction. They also had questions about how average arm strength and limited athleticism would serve Jones on the next level.
