Brock Purdy, the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, has been a standout player throughout his tenure with the team. Labeled as Mr. Irrelevant and henceforth as a system QB, he outperformed in his first season as starting quarterback. Heading into Super Bowl LVIII, the 49ers were favored against the Kansas City Chiefs. In fact, there were high hopes for Brock Purdy to secure the big win after his successful regular season. However, despite his remarkable show throughout the season, and in the final game, the 49ers went home with a defeat.

As the young quarterback reflects on the season, his journey from being the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft to leading the 49ers to SB was satisfactory. He aced the regular season numbers and even became the second player in NFL history after Aaron Rodgers to record a QBR of 115 or greater in his first two starts.
In his first Super Bowl, Brock Purdy became quite the ‘game manager’, being sacked only once. He avoided throwing interceptions but found multiple targets to increase his throwing spread. Purdy had 23 out of 38 completions with 255 passing yards. He averaged 6.7 yards per attempt with a solid 89.3 against the Chiefs defense. He tried to be a dual menace but settled for three rushes for 12 yards. While the Super Bowl LVIII loss may sting in spite of the performance, the collective belief in Purdy’s talent has set the stage for a promising journey ahead.
