Alabama’s Mac Jones on modeling, Mandarin and what Tua Tagovailoa taught him

Alabama quarterback Mac Jones sat down with former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray prior to No. 2 Alabama’s game with No. 3 Georgia to talk modeling, Mandarin and what Tua Tagovailoa taught him.

As part of the SEC on CBS’ coverage of Saturday night’s game, analyst Murray sat down with Jones.

Of the topics discussed, Jones was asked what he learned from Tagovailoa, who was the first-round draft pick of the Miami Dolphins.

“He obviously taught me about leadership and letting things get under your skin,” Jones said. “That was the biggest takeaway.”

Jones was asked about his early years of modeling, taking Mandarin as an elective in school, the origin of his Joker nickname and the competitiveness of the quarterback room.

Check out the interview below:

Alabama and Georgia kick at 7 p.m. (8 p.m. ET) and will be live streamed on fuboTV, which is offering a 7-day free trial. CBS will televise the game.

Jones and his array of playmakers are averaging 51 points a game and include one of the nation’s most dangerous receiving groups. But Georgia presents the biggest test by far with the nation’s top run defense and No. 2 scoring defense.
