Kiper - “Carolina and Matt Rhule are seeing him every step of the way (at the Senior Bowl), and they’re picking at eight. I have him going 15, and I’m not sure he gets to 15 now.”

McShay - “I don’t disagree" “I talked to Matt Rhule for about 15 minutes before practice yesterday. It’s very clear that they want a quarterback. And maybe it will be Mac Jones. It's so clear from these six really good quarterbacks (at the Senior Bowl), that Mac Jones is head and shoulders above the rest."

It's really an awesome story. Mac Jones was an afterthought with every fan out there. It was a foregone conclusion the Tua era would transition directly to Bryce Young. Mac was never thought of as a legitimate starting QB... until he was. He played really well when taking over in 2019, but the two unfortunate pick sixes in the Iron Bowl overshadowed that fact with most people. Then there's no spring practice...and people are saying he'll start the season, but be replaced by BY 3-4 games in. How wrong everyone was. In this day and age of QB recruits wanting to transfer if they aren't starting by year 2, Jones is a testament to sticking with it and just improving. He could have transferred to Colorado St or something and never heard from again. Now he's a likely first round NFL draft pick.
