One of the more unlikely, but incredible, stories from this past season has been rookie sensation Brock Purdy. However, the fairytale story has taken a sad twist.
Taken with the last pick in the NFL draft, giving him the unfortunate title of 'Mr. Irrelevant', Purdy took the reigns as starting quarterback for the last month of the season after season-ending injuries to both Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo.
With both quarterbacks in the team in August, Purdy would have been a longshot to even make the 53-man roster, but found himself at the end of the season leading the San Francisco 49ers to Super Bowl contention. Purdy performed heroically, winning the last six games of the regular season games before defeating the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs.
