Matthew Davis covers the NFL for Heavy.com. He recently wrote an article about the rise of quarterback Purdy, who was the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft by the 49ers. Purdy’s unexpected rise to stardom came about due to injuries to former Niners quarterbacks Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo.
Purdy had a stellar rookie campaign, but unfortunately, his season was cut short due to an elbow injury. However, he bounced back and led the 49ers to the Super Bowl in the 2023 season. This year, Purdy is looking forward to a full offseason without any surgeries or recoveries.
In an interview with reporters on February 13, Purdy expressed his excitement about having a proper offseason to work on his craft.
