Former Alabama stars Mac Jones and DeVonta Smith love competition in just about everything, even outside of football. After a recent event, add cornhole to the list.
Friday night, they competed in an American Cornhole League event called SuperHole. It paired professional cornhole players with four football personalities in a TV broadcast on ESPN2 ahead of the Super Bowl, according to the Tuscaloosa News. The event was held at AdventHealth Fieldhouse and Conference Center in Winter Haven, Florida.
Smith was paired with Matt Sorrells, and Jones was paired with Devon Harbaugh. Other football personalities were Doug Flutie and Rashad Jennings.
During one sequence, Smith said, “Pressure, Mac. Pressure, Mac,” Smith said as Jones threw a bag, and sank it in the hole.
Jones himself tweeted, “Had to throw off @DeVontaSmith_6’s cognitive sequencing by talking a little SMACK. He had some good counters. Thank you @iplaycornhole for having us. Devon (Aka Pistol Pete) and I are coming back for the trophy next year! Great to meet @DougFlutie & @RashadJennings. #Compete.”
Flutie and his pro partner Matt Guy won the event.
“Pressure, Mac. Pressure, Mac.”
