Purdy announces himself
This year’s last NFL draft pick, Brock Purdy, has been nothing short of dependable as starting QB. After losing both Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo to injuries, The Niners had no other option than to start Mr. Irrelevant in games. Surprisingly, the young QB fared well in all the games he played. But people expected things to get tougher in the playoffs with the added pressure. However, the Red and Golden ran the show in the first game of the postseason with a 41-23 win.

Purdy did not look like someone who was nervous at all. Kyle Shanahan’s system seems to be suiting the player well, and he has taken the role of the facilitator. While he controls the game well by letting the team run the ball. He also showed his passing skills today. The 23-year-old threw for 332 yards and 3 touchdowns without a single interception. Proving once and for all that he is quite a relevant option for the team going forward.
