Former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones only had one full season as the starter, but that was all he needed to bring another national championship to Tuscaloosa and raise his draft value to an early first-round pick.
Jones has the arm, the accuracy and the leadership, among many other qualities. However, he is continuously knocked for his lack of mobility.
Sure, he’s not as quick or elusive as Trevor Lawrence or others, but neither is Tom Brady, and he just won Super Bowl No. 7.
NFL veteran cornerback Richard Sherman joined Cris Collinsworth’s PFF podcast to dicuss how Jones is being punished by the NFL for not being mobile.
He has high praise for the Alabama product, but calls out NFL front offices for lowering his value based on that evaluation.
"They are punishing Mac Jones on the lack of mobility based on recency bias"
