The Tom Brady comparison has come out for Brock Purdy ever since the 262nd pick in the draft won a game. Brady was famously the 199th pick in the 2000 draft before becoming perhaps the greatest quarterback in NFL history.
A couple of late-round picks stepping in and playing well isn’t enough to draw that comp for Purdy, but the 49ers’ victory in his first playoff start was enough for former Patriots QB and current Patriots radio analyst Scott Zolak to draw parallels between Purdy’s hot start and what Brady did with the Patriots when he stepped in for QB Drew Bledsoe in 2001.
