Quarterback Mindset and Team Dynamics

On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss their biggest takeaways from San Francisco's second week of its offseason program. Veteran defensive end Nick Bosa has embraced the role of mentor to the 49ers' young linemen, especially first-round draft pick Mykel Williams, who has looked every bit the part in practice. Also, Matt and Jennifer revisit backup quarterback Mac Jones' 2021 draft night and his journey to joining the 49ers, where he feels he can best develop.
