Christian McCaffrey Praises Brock Purdy amid 49ers Rumors: 'Such an Impressive Guy'

As the San Francisco 49ers prepare for another round of quarterback questions going into their offseason team activities, Christian McCaffrey had high praise for Brock Purdy's performance when he was thrust into a starting role late last season.

Appearing on NFL Network's Good Morning Football (h/t NFL.com's Nick Shook), McCaffrey called Purdy "such an impressive guy" as a player and teammate.

"He came in right away and he's exactly what you would have wanted," the 49ers running back said. "He had poise, confidence and he demanded the huddle. He did his job and he made plays beyond the X's and O's and that's all you really want in a quarterback.
