Alabama football had two quarterbacks enter the 2020 NFL Draft with media pundits questioning them.
People wondered if Tua Tagovailoa would be able to handle the physicality of the league while Jalen Hurts’ issue was if he could improve in the passing game. Both signal-callers have performed well in their third seasons. Hurts has the Philadelphia Eagles undefeated (7-0) and Tagovailoa is having success torching defenses with his deep ball in Miami. Tagovailoa and Hurts have winning records as starting quarterbacks, but they are the lone two signal-callers from their draft class with winning records.
