Mac Jones: 5 teams who are a perfect fit for Alabama QB in 2021 NFL Draft
Mar. 28, 2024 – 13:04 – Alabama quarterback Mac Jones is considered a consensus first-round prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft, but where he lands will largely determine how successful his pro career is.
That’s the case with almost any quarterback, yet it’s especially so in Jones’ case. Lacking the phenomenal arm talent and dual-threat ability of some of his peers, Jones needs to go to a team with a solid foundation who will fully commit to building around him so that he’s not shocked after playing with such a talented Alabama team that just won the national championship.
Namely, Jones needs some combination of a strong offensive line, immense skill position talent and a stout defense. Since he’s probably going to be selected after Zach Wilson, Justin Fields and possibly Trey Lance in addition to Trevor Lawrence, the odds favor Jones to fall to a better team.
Here’s a look at five perfect fits for Jones in the 2021 NFL Draft.
