Following the video’s viral spread, the NFL world ignited with a range of reactions. While some fans voiced their disappointment, asserting that Purdy should have dedicated his bye week to practice and film study, others found his farming venture refreshing and relatable.
One Instagram user commented, “Might wanna get in a practice facility or go watch some film…”

An Instagram user wrote, “The backbone of America, honestly a lot of people forget about all the farmers out there working sun up to sun down (for not a lot of pay) so we can have food on our shelves.”
