The blanket assumption is that Mac has a significant 'arm strength" upside ahead of him.
Maybe
Maybe not
What never gets added into the equation is how much strength work Mac has already been subjected to during his four years at the most prolific/pro style/pro coached program in the history of college football.
Let's not ignore he was a four-year college player which means he's a year further into his physical maturation than the typical high draftee/college junior entering the NFL.
Mac could be closer to his physical limits than we want to believe.....
Or maybe not

But look at where he started from. This is a picture from his freshman and senior years at Alabama.
I read how his coaches said they couldn’t let him near the field when he got there because he was so skinny. They didn’t care that he got a little pudgy because they needed him to put on weight anyway possible. He’s made a lot of progress, but still likely can improve his body quite a bit.
