Mac Jones says 49ers' system is ideal for efficient quarterback play
Our Summary
San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterback Mac Jones once seemed like an ideal pairing for the 2021 NFL draft, leading many to believe the team traded up to select Jones. However, the 49ers chose Trey Lance instead, and Jones went to New England, where things didn't go as planned. Now, Jones is the backup to Brock Purdy in San Francisco. He praises the team's system for its clear expectations and quarterback-friendly elements, which emphasize timing, rhythm, and structure. While currently a backup, Jones remains hopeful that his time with the 49ers will aid his development and potentially lead to a starting role in the future.
