Mac Jones Shares Secret Behind 49ers Success: "She’s Always There, Pushing Me to Keep Going" San Francisco, September 17, 2025 In the San Francisco 49ers’ thrilling 26-21 victory over the New Orleans Saints, Mac Jones stole the spotlight with three spectacular touchdown passes. But behind his explosive performance, few know that the greatest driving force behind Jones’ mental strength and consistency comes from his off-field love—longtime girlfriend Sophie Scott. Sophie and Jones met during their college days at Alabama. Back then, Jones was the offensive leader for the Crimson Tide, while Sophie studied Health Sciences. Since he entered the NFL, Sophie has been a steadfast source of support, frequently cheering from the stands and sharing the pressures Jones faces. During tough times with the New England Patriots, when Jones’ career showed signs of stalling, Sophie was the one who relentlessly encouraged him to move forward. Now, donning a 49ers jersey and unexpectedly stepping in for Brock Purdy, Jones has proven that the faith and love he’s received were far from in vain. “She always reminds me that every day is a chance to get better. No matter the outcome, Sophie is there, pushing me to keep going,” Jones shared in an interview. 49ers fans may praise Jones’ precision and poise on the field, but the energy fueling his breakout likely stems from a simple yet profound love. And if Jones continues to maintain his form, alongside football glory, he’ll always have Sophie—the one igniting the fire for every step he takes.
