The San Francisco 49ers have found a diamond in the rough with Brock Purdy.
As fans are well aware, Purdy was taken with the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, a spot that has yet to yield any significant players in league history.
Purdy has helped change the narrative of this pick and has demonstrated to fans across the world that an underdog story is still very possible.
The 49ers seem to trust him to lead the team for the foreseeable future, and he has become an instant fan favorite across the league.
Purdy recently spoke at the “Dwight Clark Legacy Series,” as shared by the 49ers on NBCS, where he talked about his rise to becoming the 49ers starter, including a story about his parents surrounding his first start.
“They already booked their tickets before the season even started to watch Tom,” Purdy said.

Purdy’s parents were not anticipating seeing him play in this game, but they just wanted to see Tom Brady in action to face off against the 49ers.
It ended up being a special day for the entire family, as Purdy got his first NFL start, and his family got to see Brady play in one of his final NFL games.
He might not have known it then, but that start ended up being a catalyst for where he and the 49ers are in the present day.
They are coming off a Super Bowl appearance from Purdy’s sophomore season, a position he and the team hope to be in many times over the next several years.
