Mac Jones signs with 49ers for success

Mac Jones, the former New England Patriots quarterback, recently signed with the San Francisco 49ers. He is eager to join a team with a strong record and is looking to turn around his own career. In his first interview since the signing, Jones expressed excitement about being part of the 49ers. He highlighted the team’s winning culture and emphasized his desire to “surround myself with winners.” Under head coach Kyle Shanahan, the 49ers have seen significant success, reaching the Super Bowl twice from 2019 to 2023. However, they had a disappointing 2024 season, finishing with a 6-11 record. Jones believes that Shanahan’s system is effective and that it will help him improve. He looks forward to working with starting quarterback Brock Purdy and reconnecting with quarterbacks coach Mick Lombardi, who he knows from his time with the Patriots. His journey has not been smooth. After starting as a promising quarterback in New England, Jones’ performance dipped in the final seasons under coach Bill Belichick. He ended up on the bench last season and was traded to Jacksonville, where he played seven games. He hopes this new opportunity with the 49ers will help him regain his form.
