Tom Brady's plans for the 2023 season could have been hugely impacted by the play of 'Mr Irrelevant'. The last pick of the 2022 NFL draft, Brock Purdy, has been forced into the starting role for the San Francisco 49ers in recent weeks, and performed at a very high level.
Purdy was the third-string quarterback coming into the season, with Trey Lance taking over after the Niners essentially gave up three first-round picks to draft him in the 2021 draft.
In just the second week of the season though, Lance would go down with a season-ending injury, bringing former starter Jimmy Garoppolo back into the starting role.
