Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers quarterback, might have some tension in the locker room with Mac Jones having signed a two-year deal with the team last month. Two quarterbacks with different motives and goals in the same team might shake up the dynamics in the squad as per NFL analyst Mike Florio.
While Purdy is definitely the star in the San Francisco 49ers team, it looks like Jones is coming to the team to try and redeem his name after struggling on the field in the last couple of seasons, according to Florio.
“Mac Jones is not going in there to be Brock Purdy’s caddy. He’s going in there to show everyone that he can be better than Brock Purdy, and I just think that it creates an awkward dynamic, potentially.” Mike Florio said about Brock Purdy and Mac Jones on ‘Pro Football Talk’ on Friday.
