Four key Alabama underclassmen are heading to the 2021 NFL draft.
Defensive lineman Christian Barmore, quarterback Mac Jones, defensive back Patrick Surtain II and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle all announced Thursday that they were leaving school. Their announcements come three days after Alabama capped a 13-0 season with a national championship win over Ohio State.
Jones put himself in the first-round conversation with a stellar redshirt junior season in 2020. He was 311-of-402 passing for 4,500 yards and 41 TDs to just four interceptions in his only season as a full-time starter.
