San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy was a player that many fans had never heard of, prior to last week. He was the NFL’s “Mr. Irrelevant.” A title given to the final pick of the NFL draft.
His life changed in a big way when it was announced that he would get the starting nod this week for the San Francisco 49ers against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom Brady.
Brock Purdy’s parents only bought tickets to the game so they could watch Tom Brady. Little did they know their son would not only play, but start, and not only start, but beat Brady and the Buccaneers.
Purdy’s girlfriend Jenna Brandt and his sister Whitney, were also in attendance.
