NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is headed to Jacksonville Monday to throw with quarterback coach Will Hewlett and ortho specialist Tom Gormely.
Purdy worked with Hewlett during the pre-draft process, helping transform Purdy’s game. Purdy also worked with Gormely during his time with Hewlett, as they set up throwing programs for quarterbacks to improve their rotational mechanics to help perfect a quarterbacks craft. Since the duo have worked with Purdy before, they won’t have to fine-tune any mechanics this time around.
Pelissero believes this is a sign of Purdy progressing through his rehab following Brock’s elbow surgery, stating that he remains on track to be ready for the start of the 2023 season.
