The 2021 quarterback class has potential, with Justin Fields emerging as the Jets’ QB1, while Mac Jones serves as the backup to Brock Purdy with the 49ers. San Francisco’s confidence in Jones stems from his impressive college performance and rookie season, despite a rocky career trajectory, including a Pro Bowl appearance in 2021 and struggles in 2022 with the Patriots. After a stint with the Jaguars in 2024, where he started seven games, Jones is seen as valuable insurance for the 49ers, potentially positioning himself for a starting role by 2026.
