Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones (born September 5, 1998) is an American professional football quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Alabama Crimson Tide, setting the NCAA season records for passer rating and completion percentage in 2020 en route to winning the 2021 College Football Playoff National Championship. Jones also received Johnny Unitas Golden Arm, Davey O'Brien, and Manning awards. He was selected by the New England Patriots in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft. Jones had a successful rookie season, leading the Patriots to a playoff berth and earning Pro Bowl honors. After struggles and coaching conflicts during his next two seasons, Jones lost his starting position in 2023 and was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars the following year. Jones signed with the 49ers in 2025, where during his first season with the team he started eight games in relief of injured Brock Purdy and led the team to five wins. One of the top quarterback prospects of the 2021 NFL draft, Jones was projected to be taken in the first round. He added his name to the Alabama record book with a 94-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle, the second-longest in school history, in a victory over Louisiana.
