At the beginning of the 2022 NFL season, it seemed unlikely Brock Purdy would play much of a role for the 49ers.
After all, the rookie quarterback was looking up at Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo on the depth chart after being selected with the last pick of the draft out of Iowa State.
Now, with Lance and Garoppolo gone to new teams, Purdy has the 49ers sitting atop the NFC West with a 10–3 record. On Sunday, Purdy posted a career-high 368 yards in a 28–16 win over the visiting Seahawks.
