NFL rookie earns comparisons to Tom Brady after starring in his second start - "Uncanny"

NBA star Draymond Green has declared that we could be watching the next Tom Brady in seventh-round draft pick Brock Purdy, who again impressed for the third straight game as he helped secure a win over division rivals Seattle Seahawks.

The San Francisco 49ers have been on a tear as of late, but many feared that their Super Bowl hopes were over when Jimmy Garoppolo went down with a season-ending injury. The star had only taken the reigns as starting quarterback after Trey Lance was also ruled out for the season after picking up an injury against the Seahawks in week two of the season.

The only other quarterback on the roster had been Purdy, who was selected with the final draft pick of this past years class - which earned him the name 'Mr. Irrelevant' - but stepped in against the Miami Dolphins two weeks ago and led the team to a statement win.
