The San Francisco 49ers have benefited from the connection between quarterback Mac Jones and wide receiver Kendrick Bourne this season.
Bourne, though, took a minor swipe at the New England Patriots in explaining Jones' resurgence in San Francisco.
Bourne and Jones were teammates together in New England and had some good success. The veteran receiver's best statistical season came in 2021, which was Jones' rookie year in the NFL and one in which he earned his first and only Pro Bowl.
In assisting that case, Bourne hauled in 55 catches for 800 yards and five touchdowns that year.
