Most people who follow college football think that
Trevor Lawrence will be the No. 1 overall choice in the 2021 NFL draft.
Not former NFL head coach June Jones.
He fell in love with Alabama quarterback Mac Jones during senior week and most of the 2021 season.
“I think Mac Jones is the best defender in this draft; he will have the same support cast in the NFL if he is hired by a good offensive-minded coach, ”he told SI.com.
“Although he played just a year ago than I saw in his deep ball accuracy and what he is doing in the attack in Alabama – it is exactly what he will be doing in the NFL. So, what you see, I think that’s what you’ll get. He’s really the guy. It can move and create from an NFL pocket. It may not be like that, but for me, he must be the first defender taken when everything is said and done. “
Obviously, Jones is a winning quarterback who has all the tools to succeed in the NFL.
However, that kind of poor scout looking beyond Lawrence as a generational talent may be why June trained last season in the XFL and Spring League instead of the NFL.
