Outside of projected No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence, no quarterback in the 2021 NFL Draft is receiving more traction this month than Alabama's Mac Jones, a first-team All-American who turned heads in front of scouts at the Senior Bowl in January. Jones, who was projected as a mid first-rounder after winning the national championship last season, has since moved into the Top 10 and ahead of Ohio State's Justin Fields.


Former NFL front office executive Mike Tannenbaum said he's hearing Jones will go early and there's two teams specifically who have honed in on his talents.


Mac Jones, University of Alabama, his floor is No. 8 to the Carolina Panthers,” Tannenbaum said Monday. “Go back to the Senior Bowl, Matt Rhule loved him. It’s no secret they’re losing for a quarterback. Mac Jones’ floor in this year’s draft is No. 8. There’s a lot of speculation about New England. Bill Belichick, Nick Saban having conversations, if that goes well, New England is going to have to go above No. 8 to go get Mac Jones.”
