STM Take
Jones climbed from STTM #31 tier 8 in 2024 to STTM #10 tier 3 in 2025 in his first year in the Shanahan system, the same kind of reset Brock Purdy authored two years earlier. Whether this is a real ceiling shift or scheme-amplified efficiency is the entire question. The career arc before this year is three tier-8 seasons and a Pro Bowl rookie line, so the variance band is enormous.
Jones was born in Jacksonville, played at The Bolles School, and won the 2020 College Football Playoff title at Alabama while sweeping the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm, Davey O'Brien, and Manning awards. New England drafted him 15th overall in 2021, and he made the Pro Bowl as a rookie. After three rough years in New England and a 2024 backup stint in Jacksonville, he signed with San Francisco in 2025 and reclaimed a starting job.
Strengths
- 21-rank jump from 2024 to 2025, second-largest in the top fifteen behind Daniel Jones.
- Career 66.5 percent completion percentage is intact across all four prior systems, so the accuracy floor travels.
Concerns
- Three tier-8 seasons from 2022 to 2024 are the dominant prior; one year of tier-3 play is a tiny correction on top.
- 67 career TDs against 50 INTs is a worse ratio than every other top-15 QB except Daniel Jones.
What to watch: Whether year two of the Shanahan offense produces a tier-1 or tier-2 line, or whether 2025 was a one-year scheme bump.
