George Kittle’s wife calls Mac Jones’ eating habits his biggest dating ‘red flag’
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones named his dislike of seafood and coffee as his biggest dating “red flags”, after Claire Kittle, wife of teammate George Kittle, offered the answers on a podcast.

The conversation also highlighted what the Kittles see as Jones’s strengths: his personality and upbeat attitude, including during injuries and losing streaks. The 49ers were 6-1 and leading the NFC West at the time of the article; with Brock Purdy healthy, backup Jones had played in one game, entering after the result was effectively decided.
In short
- Jones says seafood and coffee are dating red flags for him.
- The Kittles praise his personality and positivity.
- The 49ers were 6-1, with Jones appearing in one game.
Explained simply
Mac Jones is an American football quarterback who joined the San Francisco 49ers as a backup to Brock Purdy. A backup usually plays when the starting quarterback is unavailable or when a game’s outcome is largely settled.
Claire Kittle is married to 49ers tight end George Kittle, one of Jones’s teammates. The light-hearted podcast exchange drew attention to the players’ off-field relationships and to how teammates describe Jones’s personality.
The 49ers compete in the National Football League, where teams play a regular season before the playoffs. Jones’s role matters to the team because he may be called on if Purdy cannot play, though a backup can have limited time on the field when the starter is fit.
