George Kittle's wife calls Mac Jones' eating habits his biggest dating 'red flag'

The 49ers backup quarterback joked he would order off the kids' menu at any seafood restaurant on a date

Mac Jones may be able to deliver a strike with a 300-pound defensive lineman about to hit him, but the Pro Bowler can’t handle seafood. Or coffee.

Jones, 28, is single and was asked about his biggest dating red flags. Claire Kittle, wife of San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle, answered for him.

"You don’t eat seafood!" Kittle said during an episode of "The Kittle Things." "Oh, and you don’t drink coffee. That one might be worse."

Jones agreed with Kittle’s assessment.

"Yeah. I’d say that those are probably my two biggest ones," Jones said on "The Kittle Things."

The 49ers backup quarterback joked that he would ask for the kids’ menu at a seafood restaurant. Jones said he has recently gotten back into the dating game and offered some advice for anyone interested.

"Don’t go to a seafood spot with me," Jones said.

As for Jones’ green flags? The Kittles pointed to his personality.

"I would obviously say his personality. Everyone loves that," Claire said.

"His positivity would be my biggest green flag. Even when you’re hurting, you still got a smile on your face and a love of life," George said.

Claire praised Jones for maintaining a positive attitude during difficult stretches of the season, such as when the team deals with injuries or consecutive losses.

The 49ers have certainly dealt with their fair share of injuries this season, but they have managed to overcome them and are 6-1 and atop the NFC West. With starting quarterback Brock Purdy healthy, Jones has appeared in just one game this season, entering after the 49ers had already put the game out of reach.

The 49ers have a bye this week.
