San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is relatively experienced for a rookie, with nearly four full seasons as the Iowa State starter under his belt. But what he doesn't have as an Arizona native — and what he didn't get in his time in Ames — is reps in the rain.
Incredibly, Saturday's wild card game against the Seattle Seahawks could be one of the first times in Purdy's career that the former Cyclone will be dealing with real rain. The "potent" storm forecast to hit Santa Clara on Saturday afternoon is likely to produce "moderate to heavy rain" and "potential for flooding," an NWS meteorologist told SFGATE.
