San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has a big fan in his teammate, defensive back Jimmie Ward.
During Saturday’s 49ers beatdown on the Seattle Seahawks, Purdy showed off his jets on a first-down run, high stepping to help secure the yardage. That got a laugh out of Ward, who joked with his fellow defenders on the bench that the rookie signal caller is “Purdy Good” and admired his attempt to high step to get the first down.
The Niners taking care of business so decisively on Saturday in the NFC’s Wild Card round meant they could joke a little on the sideline, and dad joke aficionados have to appreciate the… Ward play… on that Purdy gag.
Jimmie Ward was loving it when @brockpurdy13 high-stepped for a first down. 😂

The Niners can keep the smiles going if they’re able to keep their playoff success rolling against the Dallas Cowboys next weekend.
Purdy will have quite the challenge ahead with Dallas’ defense coming to town, but if he’s able to navigate that game and win, San Francisco will have to feel… Purdy Good… about their chances to make it to the Super Bowl.
