While there were certainly a few other guys in the mix, I’m more than okay with Jones taking home the Manning Award.

For a guy who was pretty much unknown two years ago to the vast majority of college football fans, Mac Jones made his presence felt in 2020.
He carved out his spot among the legends in Tuscaloosa, and he’s leaving town for the NFL with a new national title ring on his finger.

Props to Jones for continuing to stack up the hardware. He’s going to be a very intriguing prospect to follow at the next level.
