The five-time Pro Bowler will be a key for the Chiefs to stop the 49ers. San Francisco boasts one of the best offenses in football, led by Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle. If Jones and company can get to Purdy, it will disrupt the offense entirely.
Purdy, in his first Super Bowl in only his second NFL season, was sacked twice against the Detroit Lions and once against the Green Bay Packers.
