Brock Purdy did more during the San Francisco 49ers' bye week than return to Iowa State.
Purdy was also able to mentally reset from the Niners' three-game losing streak, per 49ers Webzone's David Bonilla.
"To be able to step away from the game, take a breather, understand where we're at, what we have to do, was huge for me to clear my mind and then come back excited for the second half and the stretch of football that we have to play, some good football that we have to play," Purdy said Thursday.
