Just Hours Before Rams Clash, Mac Jones Moves Entire NFL – Not With a Throw, But With Special Gesture Honoring Late Young Cowboys Star
November 9, 2025
Santa Clara, California – Right before the San Francisco 49ers enter the big battle with the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium, Mac Jones has made the entire football world silent. Not with lightning throws or lively warm-ups, but with a small gesture that makes the entire NFL bow in emotion. When stepping out of the tunnel, people saw on Jones’s left wrist a white band with handwritten words: “FOR HIM 94.”
According to internal sources of the 49ers, this is a special tribute action of Mac Jones dedicated to Marshawn Kneeland, the young player of the Dallas Cowboys who just passed away after severe mental crisis. Jones – who once played with Kneeland in offseason events for young players – is said to have been extremely saddened when hearing the bad news. “He always said Marshawn is one of the people with the biggest heart he ever met,” a teammate shared.
“Even if we are no longer on the same field, compassion will always connect us,” Jones shared before the media. “Football is a game of strength and collision, but sometimes the strongest thing is kindness. I just want him to know – wherever he is, we still remember him.” That statement quickly spread across social media, making the 49ers Faithful community and the entire NFL choked up.
Before kickoff, Jones together with the entire 49ers team spent a minute of silence for Kneeland. Many players from both teams, including Nick Bosa, Cooper Kupp and Christian McCaffrey, also wore white bands to show unity. The scene at Levi’s Stadium fell silent when the image of that small white band was projected on the big screen – a symbol of connection and compassion beyond the boundaries of opponents.
When the whistle started to sound, Jones took a deep breath, touched the white band before throwing the first ball. That was not just a ritual – but a silent promise to the departed colleague. In a world where glamour sometimes obscures human pain, Mac Jones’s action has reminded everyone that: before being athletes, they are humans – knowing empathy, knowing love and knowing to cherish each other.
