The San Francisco 49ers got Kendrick Bourne smiling again. Bourne re-arrived four days before facing the New Orleans Saints. The wide receiver later saw Mac Jones bring the “swag” Sunday — getting Bourne vibing hard after the game.

Bourne first told 49ers insider how excited he was to see the team's boombox again. Admitting “I missed that energy, man.”

But he also saw the Sunday starting quarterback lead the team out in front with the boombox.

“Mac got that swag. He knows what he's doing,” Bourne said. “He knows how to connect with us.

Jones faced the task of leading the offense without Brock Purdy. He finds a way to lift the Niners to 2-0 and win over the newly re-added wide receiver. Who delivered his own epic moments in the game.

The 49ers' QB2 turned QB1 for Week 2 gave this “shoutout” after the game with Fox Sports.

“Shoutout to the guys. All week they had my back. They said go out there and rip it. If I do that, then I know what type of player I can be,” Jones said.

Bourne, meanwhile, caught passes from Jones like they were New England Patriots again. Jones hit Bourne out the gate during the first.

Bourne managed to catch three passes for 32 yards and averaged 10.7 yards per catch against the Saints. He became one of eight receiving options to grab a reception from Jones.
