Brock Purdy has no hard feelings toward the San Francisco 49ers when they were interested in Tom Brady last offseason.

Appearing on Audacy's The TK Show, Purdy explained to The Athletic's Tim Kawakami he "totally understood" why the 49ers considered going after Brady:

"How I took it was I understand. I was hurt, and there wasn't really a certainty as to when exactly I'd be back. Would I be back for the season? Would it be midway through the season? Who knows at that time? So, I totally understood the fact of Kyle and the team needed a quarterback for next season.
