Brock Purdy remains unfazed by rise from last pick in the draft to Super Bowl QB
Associated PressLAS VEGAS — Minutes after the San Francisco 49ers finished off a stunning comeback to win the NFC championship, star defender Nick Bosa pulled aside quarterback Brock Purdy and marveled at his journey. “But if you believe in yourself and you think that you have what it takes and you truly do believe that and you don’t give up on it, then you can achieve it.” When the 49ers went into the 2022 draft, quarterback was not a high priority, but San Francisco was hoping to grab one in the late rounds to groom as a backup. “They’ve believed in me since I’ve stepped in since last year,” Purdy said. We’ve been through some stuff this year and it hasn’t all been pretty.” He was healthy enough to start a throwing program in late May, resumed practice early in training camp and delivered one of the most prolific seasons ever by a San Francisco quarterback.
