But keep in mind that Jones also got Alabama coaching

Jones is 3 inches taller, which automatically gives him an advantage as a pro prospect. I think they are probably about the same strength, as Jones is only 8 pounds heavier than Book.

But coming into college, Jones was ranked a 3 star (.8815) by 247 sports and Book was ranked a 3 star (.8681). Jones was the #29 QB recruit in his class, Book the #28 QB recruit in his. I'd give a slight edge to Jones for the higher number score and the fact that his QB class was a stronger class, but that is pretty comparable in terms of raw material.
