STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Jones' strong rookie year amplified anti-hype pressure on Lawrence in 2021.

Mac Jones looked good in his rookie year (2021) alongside Trevor Lawrence's rookie season, which exacerbated the anti-hype narrative around Lawrence; when multiple top prospects in the same draft class show early success, it increases pressure on other first-round picks.
