The San Francisco 49ers struck paydirt in the 2022 NFL Draft when they took quarterback Brock Purdy with the last pick, as the Iowa State product has developed into a top-tier signal-caller in the league.
Purdy’s emergence has finally resolved the 49ers quarterback controversy that has been a headline since head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch joined the organization back in 2017.
However, it wasn’t those two that ultimately found and pounded the table for Purdy; instead, general manager John Lynch revealed that two others in the organization deserve the credit for the pick: Pro scout Steve Slowik and quarterbacks coach Brian Griese.
