ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky is buying the hype when it comes to Brock Purdy’s second season with the San Francisco 49ers.
Purdy, last year’s Mr. Irrelevant in the NFL draft whose play late in the 2022 season drew universal praise, is on track to be the Niners’ starting QB in 2023. And while many have questioned whether Purdy’s play last year was sustainable, Orlovsky thinks San Francisco has Super Bowl potential with the former third-stringer leading the offense.
“Yes, he can lead them to the Super Bowl,” Orlovsky said on First Take Thursday. “I think the thing that changed a little bit with their offense with Brock Purdy post-Jimmy Garoppolo was a little bit of the creativity… Brock Purdy brought a little bit of creativity to their offense.”
