San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy’s ascension to stardom has happened so quickly that several analysts on TV still don’t believe the former Iowa State product is legit.
Purdy’s story is unique enough that you’d think it would be the other way around, where everyone roots for him. The last pick in the draft came in during the second half of the season and did not lose a game until the NFC Championship— an outcome that was out of his control.
Brock improved in every meaningful statistic in 2023 despite not having an offseason.
