 It's not a good draft for quarterbacks, it sounds like. It's a whole class, man, but the NFL clearly thought very little of this draft class. Every so often there's that surefire guy who like you think can't miss. There's I don't think there's any can't miss guys. Who knows if someone gets drafts in the second and third round that they thought was just like on paper just some guy. I mean he turns out to be unbelief. Brock Purdy grew up in Queen Creek, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. Purdy is going to keep it working that right side once again. Dives for the goal line. Touchdown Perry. Purdy soft touch. Touchdown Pubos. Purdy looking for somebody. Passes receiver. Touchdown Perry. He spent his high school days at Perry High School where he put up a 27 and 13 record. His senior season he was named Arizona's Gatorade Player of the Year. He was a three star prospect and committed to Iowa State University. Oddly enough, Purdy started as a third string quarterback in his first season at Iowa State. In four seasons, Purdy completed 66% of his passes for over 12,000 yards. He threw 81 touchdowns and 33 interceptions. His next step was to prepare for the NFL draft. There's a good chance with how few actual guys are out there. So all these guys stink coming out this year in the NFL? Who knows if someone gets drafts in the second and third round that they thought was just like on paper just some guy and he turns out to be unbelievable. So that could always happen obviously. But I think in a lot of those years the reason why they're in the third, fourth round or whatever is because there's other quarterbacks that are being I think this particular time a lot of scouts are like there is really nobody up at the top. The 2022 quarterback class was a bit different compared to others. No one really stood out. He runs a straight line and it's a 4-6-7. It's a phenomenal time. It's easy for him. He's got a real, real pop to the ball when it comes out of his hands. The top prospects were Malik Willis from Liberty and Kenny Pickett from Pittsburgh. Pickett and the pressure forces to grow out. But even then, not many teams were sold. That was evident in the 2022 NFL draft. Kenny, what's up? We're about to make you a Pittsburgh stealer brother. Congratulations to you and your family. Pickett was the first quarterback taken, selected at number 20 by the Steelers. This was the latest the first quarterback was taken off the board since 1997. Things got worse with Malik Willis, who was projected to be taken at early a second overall by some. He ended up falling to the third round to the Titans. The Tennessee Titans select Malik Willis and quarterback Liberty. A few picks before Willis, Desmond Ritter was drafted to the Falcons. You ready to be a Falcon? Yes, sir. Round after round, quarterbacks were taken, but Purdy never heard his name called. Until the very last pick. Final pick of the 2022 NFL draft. So the 47th, Mr. irrelevant, the San Francisco 49ers select Brock Purdy, a quarterback from Iowa State. Became a San Francisco 49er. He was given the title of Mr. Irrelevant. Quick, thank you to all you guys, the media. Since I got here, you guys have been awesome and faithful. Thank you very much for everything. It's been crazy, man. Just all the comebacks at Levi's comebacks on the road. I love you guys. So see you. The 49ers quarterback room was interesting to say the least. San Francisco traded up in 2021 to draft the successor to Jimmy Garoppolo, Trey Lance. The plan was for Garoppolo to play in 2021, then trade him and let Lance take over in 2022. No deal could be made to move Garoppolo. So they kept him as a second string quarterback behind Lance in 2022. While all this was going on, Purdy battled and secured his spot as the third string. Lance on this place, he kept it and a full fight to hit. Kind of got folded underneath as Monet and Barton both made the hit. In week two of the 2022 season, the hopeful future of the franchise, Trey Lance suffered a season ending broken ankle. San Francisco was forced to turn to Garoppolo. Here's a play action by Garoppolo. Looks left to throw wide open. Ross Welley, Ross Welley will die for the answer. Jimmy Garoppolo filled in nicely, leading the Niners to a seven and four record until week 13 against Dolphins. I got worse news. Jimmy Garoppolo's on the cart headed for the locker room right in front of you there. Wow. Garoppolo essentially suffered a season ending injury. With just one more option, head coach Kyle Shanahan turned to the man everyone overlooks, Brock Purdy. Again, down to two. They get it off. Purdy looks to throw. You set. Touchdown, San Francisco. Purdy underneath for the touchdown. It's McCaffrey. Mr. Relevance of Mani, he becomes extremely relevant now. Purdy, back to throw. Fredster Connick steps away, looking to run and he walks it in. He just had that thing about him when he walked away. Purdy. Purdy, yeah, yeah. Purdy makes a swim move and finds people. Stanley, are you kidding me? What a play in the crowd. Loves it from Brock Purdy. Purdy, loading it up, going deep. He's got a man. This kid blew me away in this game. This kid played like a poised veteran. Yeah. What's coming? Purdy, lofty, going deep. Has McCaffrey. He's got it. Fake toss, two fake tosses, and then the kettle over the middle. Touchdown, San Francisco. Hey, very, very loaded game. One skill applied, go and deep. Purdy's got him on 30 for your leisure. Purdy exceeded everyone's expectations. He threw 13 touchdowns to only four interceptions. He went undefeated in the regular season, leading the 49ers to a 13-and-4 record and the NFC West title. Purdy scans, dances, and finds McCaffrey. He'll break loose. Touchdown, San Francisco. Brock Purdy became the fifth rookie quarterback to lead his team to a conference championship. Here's Purdy, pressure from Parsons again. Gets rid of it, Jennings in stride, and he's out of bounds in field goal range. Holding up over the middle. We got to give up to our quarterback, man. Have no workout. All you got to do is one. Have no workout. One, all you got, Brent? Oh, bro, that's all we got. In the NFC championship, with just one game left before the Super Bowl, everything you can imagine that could go wrong happened to the 49ers. Not a fake pressure coming. Purdy gets it. This ball is clearly hit. That is an open hand. That is a fumble, Kevin. Purdy got hit on the Hassan Reddick fumble here. Why Purdy out? Josh Johnson, the veteran, is into play quarterback. Let's go, Josh. Ball is bobbled, and it's on the ground and loose. Who's going to get it? He just dropped it. I mean, that was a good stat vehicle, Kevin. Sanders gets it left side. Big room and a touchdown for Sanders. He hit his head. Brock, lefty. Are you ambidextrous? Kevin Coleman in the game. We've got a couple slips back to the cap. Why not? Pump fakes. Now he lets one fly, and there's no one over there. We lost our both quarterbacks. That's tough. Real tough. After losing four quarterbacks in the 2022 season, the 49ers fell short of Super Bowl 57. I've always believed in myself. I didn't know at what point it would come, but I envision this kind of stuff happening in terms of going and leading an NFL team down the road. It's unknown what Purdy's future holds, but he's proven to be very relevant in this league. On second and goal here, he fakes. He looks. He's in trouble, but keeps it alive and finds Mitchell. Improvisation leads to a touchdown. He did so many great things this year, and we understand what it looks like and what it takes to go and to get on the street and get hot and to win big games. He's awesome and confident in the huddle. The best part is he shows up every single day. He's humbling all he wants to do is get better. I knew he was selfless. I knew he had high character, and he wants to be great, and it shows every day in practice. I love the game. I love competing. I love making a big play and having the crowd go crazy, and you want to win. You want to have all those other guys on the field celebrate with you for doing something good. I mean, this guy doesn't look like he's in his seventh year in the league. End zone pro. Chin and wide open, this huddle roaming free. I'm a competitor. I love to compete. I want to win at all costs. But at the end of the day, I know that I'm not defined by the wins or losses as a person.
