    So this was like 10th grade for him? Good think he went with a mask and not blackface. Added dreads are a touch racist.

    Wonder if his WRs still want his racist ass throwing him balls vs Tua

    What kind of idiot sister doesn't delete that tweet a long time ago. Like maybe last year when Mac became the starting QB? Or even better, when he committed to Bama.
    Not defending him but damn what a stupid move by the sister.

    She probably should have scrubbed her timeline when he committed years ago.

    Can a quarterback without a special physical trait be a top-three draft pick? That's the question for the 49ers, who have been linked extensively to Jones since trading up to No. 3 and have a coach in Kyle Shanahan who values two traits Jones does bring to the table: quick processing and accuracy. "It's a fit for what they do -- an exact fit for what they do," an AFC GM said. "And (Shanahan)'s one of the few coaches that can identify and stand on the table for it."


    Starting just 17 college games, Jones was extremely productive after waiting his turn behind Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa at Alabama, completing 74.3 percent of his passes for 6,126 yards and 56 touchdowns with just seven interceptions in his career. That includes a 2020 season in which Jones completed 77.4 percent of passes for 4,500 yards and a 41:4 TD-to-INT ratio while helping the Crimson Tide to a 13-0 record and a national title. Jones also earned first-team all-America honors, the Davey O'Brien Award as the nation's top QB and an invite to the Senior Bowl, where he had a good week. "Mac's 'Bama tape is really, really good. There's no denying that," a college scouting director said. "But you watch him in Mobile -- this doesn't really feel like a big, big, big-time guy. You trade all that s---, for him?"


    Jones (6-2 5/8, 217) certainly doesn't have the athletic ability or chiseled physique of some of the other top QBs, but he still timed and tested at his pro day, wanting to compete. He has a high football IQ, is super competitive and impressed in interviews. "If you said, 'Take one of these guys to start in a game tomorrow in the NFL,' he's the most ready," an NFC quarterbacks coach said. "But he's right up against the ceiling to me, where these other guys, if they can progress -- you're talking about Justin Fields and Zach Wilson -- those are going to be dangerous dudes now." And there's the rub on Jones, whose skeptics also point out he benefitted from playing on the nation's most talented team, behind an offensive line that gave him a lot of clean pockets.


    He had to answer during the pre-draft process for some issues in his past, including trouble controlling his temper that carried over from his youth tennis days to early in his tenure at Alabama, as well as a well-publicized DUI arrest as a freshman in 2017. "I don't even trust the player, let alone that," an AFC executive said. "Who can't throw to four first-rounders and hand the ball to Najee (Harris)?" But those who have spoken to Jones say he comes across as mature and having learned from his mistakes, and the people at Alabama vouch for him -- including teammates Jaylen Waddle and DeVonta Smith, who spoke highly in interviews of Jones even in comparison to Tagovailoa, and former Alabama OC Steve Sarkisian.


    "The one thing about him that's different than the other (top QBs) is he can come up to the line of scrimmage and he can tell you where he's going with it pre-snap," an NFC scout said. "He's smart enough to know where his outs are and what you're going to do with him based on where the safeties are at and what you're doing on defense. I felt like he was really, really sharp, and Sark says unbelievable things about him."

    Just look at Phillip Rivers. He would throw 6 or 7 INT’s every day in training camp, but in actual games, he would only throw 4 or 5.
