The 49ers’ players had a decent debut season in ‘22 but the Iowa alum Brock Purdy flipped expectations last season with 31 TDs, 4,280 yards, and a pass rating of 113. Since then, he has become a fan favorite. One of the perks of being the most desirable names in the league is the brand sponsorship deals that come along with it. Purdy has managed to carve a “good boy” image that screams humility and grace. Add to this, his Iowa background, and Purdy becomes the perfect candidate to star in a variety of regional consumer-facing brand ads.

Corn seed company Pioneer Seed also realized Purdy’s potential and thus signed Purdy as their brand ambassador. Pioneer Seed thus published a promo video on Instagram starring Purdy today where the QB confirmed his role with the company. “I’m excited about our brands teaming up,” said Purdy in the promo video. He then gave a testimonial as a customer by revealing the great returns his harvest had when he tried Pioneer Corn seeds on his in-laws’ farm last fall. “Let’s go dominate the field this year,” stated Purdy at the end of the video (caught the pun?)

Automobile company Toyota Motor Corp was one of the earliest companies to realize this and they gave Purdy his big break months ago. The company then doubled down on the QB’s potential. Thus in a statement last month, the company announced that Purdy would be appearing in Toyota Motors North America’s national programming and content from California regional ads and social media. Safe to say, Pioneer Seed seems to have hit the jackpot with Purdy’s signing.
