Brock Purdy ceded his lead in the MVP race to Lamar Jackson in San Francisco’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens Monday night. However, not everyone thinks Purdy’s four-interception game cost him the award.
Specifically, Purdy’s teammate Deebo Samuel still thinks the quarterback is the 2023 Most Valuable Player. Samuel made that abundantly clear with his pregame outfit ahead of Sunday’s game at the Washington Commanders.
The wide receiver arrived for the game in a vest with Purdy’s No. 13 on the front and back, Purdy’s name plate on the back, and “MVP” stitched all over it.
Deebo Samuel is completely invested in the MVP case for his quarterback 😏

That is some great support from one teammate to another, though it might be going against another teammate. Christian McCaffrey’s +475 MVP odds are second behind Lamar Jackson’s -190 at BetMGM. Purdy has the fifth-best odds at +1200.
