Alabama QBs in NFL: Mac Jones, Tua Tagovailoa leads next season of Tide singers

Two of the NFL’s most watched fans will meet on Sunday 1 Sunday as the Dolphins travel to meet relatives at Gillette Stadium: Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones of New England, both from the University of Alabama.

It represents an unprecedented event in the Crimson Tide NFL as it is the first of a series of first-round picks; It is also the first episode of the program since Richard Todd’s sixth signing in 1976. With the exception of Bart Starr, Joe Namath and Kenny Stabler – Super Bowl winners and Hall of Famers all – Alabama have not been able to play in the NFL, from Jeff Rutledge and Mike Shula to Brodie Croyle and AJ McCarron.

Not that Tagovailoa and Jones have never been criticized in the early stages of their careers.

Tagovailoa’s rookie season, when possible, was covered by members of his classmates Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert, the latter making it one of the most exciting campaigns in NFL history. The Dolphins did not help Tagovailoa’s case by removing him from the 2020 game by Ryan Fitzpatrick, who understands Miami’s sports book. And it did not help that Tagovailoa did not have time to talk to the COVID-19 epidemic, both recovering from serious hip injuries.

Jones was also similarly criticized compared to his 2021 NFL Draft counterparts: Trevor Lawrence (Nominee 1), Zach Wilson (No. 2), Trey Lance (No. 3) and Justin Fields (No. 11)). Although many analysts recognized Jones’ mental state, prudent acquisition, and prudent decision-making, many felt that his speed in the game was lower than before. Many also question whether his academic achievement was due to his talent (four other Alabama players – DeVonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle, Najee Harris and Alex Leatherwood – joined Jones at the start of the first season).

Regardless, both Tagovailoa and Jones are in the best position in 2021: The Dolphins have also used the watchbook to best complement Tagovailoa’s performance by providing him with the most advanced equipment to work with in Year 2. and Josh McDaniels.

Whether he can change the look of the quarterback in the NFL and the Alabama quarterbacks remains to be seen. In addition to Jalen Hurts – a college graduate in Oklahoma – Tagovailoa and Jones were the last to be selected in Capstone since the Bengals took over McCarron in 2014. They will be the first to have a great time since Todd completed his 10-year NFL stint in 1985 with a record of 48-59-1 in retirement.
