San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks Mac Jones, Brock Purdy share Alabama connection

 

Mac Jones and Brock Purdy, quarterbacks for the San Francisco 49ers, share an interesting connection through their college football roots.

Mac Jones played at Alabama, where he emerged as a star, leading the Crimson Tide to a national championship during the 2020 season. On the other hand, Brock Purdy, although not a direct Alabama player, has an indirect connection through his time at Iowa State.

 

Both quarterbacks were heavily involved in college football at a high level, and their paths have intertwined in the NFL as they now play together for the 49ers. Jones, known for his pocket presence and accuracy, and Purdy, often praised for his poise and decision-making, offer contrasting styles but both bring valuable skills to the 49ers’ quarterback room.

 

This blend of backgrounds and skills could play a key role in the team’s future success.
