SANTA CLARA â No Brock Purdy, no problem. At least if you ask Mac Jones.

During a recent practice at San Francisco 49ers training camp, with QB1 Brock Purdy absent for personal reasons, all the spotlight was on Mac Jones â and he didnât miss the opportunity to show off.
đŁïž âWith Brock out, the next guy has to be ready. Iâm here to compete, to push the offense, and keep everyone sharp. Every play I make is for the team,â Mac told reporters after practice.
And he wasnât just talking.

According to multiple sources inside the team, Jones was confident, calm, and proactive as he led the offense during practice. He dictated the tempo of the offense at a high pace, shouting play calls with surprising certainty â almost making people forget he was just QB2.
đ§ Coaches praised Jonesâ preparation and leadership, especially in simulated pressure situations during practice.

In a season where the 49ersâ Super Bowl window is wide open, having a reliable backup like Mac Jones could be vital if thereâs any slip-up from Brock Purdy.
âł And if thereâs one thing thatâs certain after today, itâs this: Mac Jones isnât just sitting on the bench â heâs ready to step out and lead at any moment.
