Former NFL linebacker David Pollack revealed the potential of former Alabama quarterback Mack Jones on Tuesday before the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft was closed.
Pollack, a college football analyst for ESPN, said on “Get Up” that Jones’ tape is better than other top quarterbacks in the draft class this year.
“I hear it everywhere,” He said, via AL.com. “I can’t believe the 49ers could go up to 3 to get Mac Jones.” I got it. He is not dynamic. He is not going to wow you in shorts. He is not going to wow you on his pro day.
“His tape is better than Justin Fields’s. His tape is better than Zach Wilson’s. His tape is better than Trey Lance’s. His tape is better than Trevor Lawrence. “
Pollack rejected the notion that the load offense built around Jones with the Crimson Tide was the main reason for the quarterback’s success.
“How many times have we seen those people catch fantastic catches? Dude, he puts this money on his brother. He may be the best supporting artist ever. He makes great decisions on time, “Pollak said, adding that Jones is not a” pickup. “
Jones had a chance to debut in Alabama for 2019 when Tua Tagoveloa went down with a season-ending hip injury. In 2020, he resumed the job and recorded 4,500 passing yards – the most in the FBS – and 41 touchdown passes – not to mention, leading Alabama to a national title.
Pollack is not the only one high on Jones. Former nfl coach june jones Told Fox News in March Mack Jones was the best quarterback in the draft class.
“Jonesback said I think the best would be Alabama kid five years from now, Mac Jones,” June Jones said. “He has only played one year but I am honest out of all my throws this year, his vertical field is as accurate in the field as I have ever seen, including some of the top NFL guys to name everyone. Knows
“I think he’s got enough movement, enough ability – he’s not a runner, but when he slides around he looks to throw and I think he’s got a chance to be great.”
