# Mac Jones

NFL player. Position: **QB**. Team: **SF**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** QB
- **Team:** SF (San Francisco 49ers)
- **Age:** 28
- **Experience:** 5 accrued seasons

## 2026 Outlook

Mac Jones is the 49ers' backup QB and has positioned himself as one of the NFL's most capable backups. In 2025, when Brock Purdy missed eight games with a turf toe injury, Jones completed 69.6% of his passes and threw 13 TDs to 6 INTs, leading the 49ers to five wins in eight starts. His quick decision-making fits well with Kyle Shanahan's offensive system, and he has the mobility to extend plays without being skittish in the pocket.
