Brock Purdy (born December 27, 1999) is an American football quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Iowa State Cyclones and was selected by the 49ers with the final pick in the 2022 NFL draft, becoming that year's Mr. Irrelevant. Purdy began his rookie season in the NFL as the third-string quarterback but took over the starting role following injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo. Winning all five regular-season games he started, he played a key role in the 49ers' ten-game winning streak, securing a division title and an NFC Championship Game appearance. Purdy continued as the 49ers' starting quarterback in the 2023 season, where he led them to a repeat division title and led the league in multiple passing categories en route to an appearance in Super Bowl LVIII. In addition, he set the franchise's single-season passing yards record and earned his first Pro Bowl nomination.
