The San Francisco 49ers are hoping Brock Purdy can do for them what Nick Foles did for the Philadelphia Eagles five years ago, and it sounds like they are even giving their new starting QB a similar nickname.
Eagles fans famously nicknamed Foles “Big D–k Nick” when he took over for an injured Carson Wentz and led the team to a Super Bowl.
Purdy, a rookie out of Iowa State who was the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, played well in relief of Garoppolo on Sunday after Garoppolo suffered a broken foot. Niners TE George Kittle tweeted “BCB.”
The Niners improved to 8-4 with the win. They remain in the driver’s seat in the NFC West.
