At the beginning of 2025, San Francisco 49ers star Jake Moody made a significant announcement about his future with the team. After a challenging 2024 season, in which he suffered a serious ankle injury and struggled with inconsistent performance, Moody has decided to focus on improving his skills and fitness to make a stronger comeback in the upcoming season.

Throughout the 2024 season, Moody made 24 of 34 successful field goals, achieving an accuracy rate of 70.6%, lower than the 84% rate from the previous season. Notably, he missed two crucial field goals in the game against the Detroit Lions on December 31, 2024, which led to a 34-40 loss for the team.

Despite these struggles, head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed patience and support for Moody, emphasizing that the team would continue to believe in him and help him overcome this challenging period.

However, after careful consideration, the team decided to part ways with special teams coach Brian Schneider on January 7, 2025, in order to find a new direction for the special teams and provide better support for Moody to improve his performance.

With this decision, Moody will have the opportunity to work with a new coach and focus on refining his individual skills. He is committed to putting in maximum effort in the 2025 season to prove his worth and contribute positively to the success of the San Francisco 49ers.
