As part of the 2021 draft class, Mac Jones did not have to participate in the NFL Combine as it wasn't held due to Covid. In my opinion he greatly benefitted from it.
INFLATED PRO DAY NUMBERS- In my opinion Mac benefitted from some highly inflated pro day numbers. Since his draft year was 2021 and there wasn't a combine due to Covid, Mac got to go off the numbers he provided. Looking at the numbers that the Alabama players put up that year and watching some of the pro day footage, the numbers look pretty suspect to me. Sure the 40 times look relatively accurate based on a hand timer and no false starts, but there looks to be a lot of generosity with what I've seen for the broad jump. For a quick comparison, I've included Mac's numbers and some other quarterbacks of interest. Reminder that Mac's numbers were provided by his people while the other numbers are from the combine.
