Mac Jones is back in the dating game, and apparently, he has some help from his San Francisco 49ers teammate George Kittle and Kittle’s wife, Claire.
Apparently, throwing footballs is not the only thing happening behind the scenes in the NFL. Sometimes, a quarterback needs a little assistance finding someone to throw his heart to.
Jones, who previously dated Sophie Scott, has opened up about his dating life following their breakup.
While relationships can be complicated, having friends who are willing to help you get back out there certainly makes things more interesting.
And who better to recruit than George and Claire Kittle?
While on the latest episode of the couple’s podcast “The Kittle Things,” the backup 49ers quarterback answered some burning questions about his dating preferences, including a big food dealbreaker.
When asked about his biggest green flag, Jones said he is “attracted to smart, smart, ladies.”
Claire followed up with asking if the 28-year-old has any immediate dating deal breakers.
“Just don’t go to a seafood spot with me,” Jones quickly said.
“Oh, yeah, I forgot you’re allergic to everything,” George said before Claire added, “Oh, yes.”
“I’m not allergic to anthing, I just don’t like it,” Jones countered.
“You’re the guy who would eat chicken tenders at a seafood restaurant,” Georgie quipped back.
“Exactly, I’m like where’s the kid’s menu at? That’s just who I am,” Jones admitted.
Being single in 2026 is not exactly easy. Between dating apps, awkward first dates, and people who disappear faster than a quarterback under pressure, finding the right person can feel like another full-time job.
Fortunately for Jones, he has people in his corner.
Jones is single after splitting from ex-girlfriend Sophie Scott earlier this year.
The two were dating since attending the University of Alabama together in 2019, and moved to Boston after Jones was selected by the Patriots in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
One thing is certain: finding love can be harder than reading a defense.
Jones might be able to recognize a blitz in seconds, but recognizing the right romantic partner is an entirely different skill.
Perhaps his next big win will not happen on Sunday. It might happen over dinner, thanks to two friends who decided that playing matchmaker was their newest calling.
