How is 49ers’ Brock Purdy reacting to flood of support before first start?
SANTA CLARA — Goodbye “Mr. Irrelevant.” Hello “Mr. Popular.”
Easy for Montana to say in retirement with the four Super Bowl rings he won with the 49ers in the 1980s, when the Candlestick Park fans included a San Mateo kid named Tom Brady. That is who Purdy will oppose Sunday when Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the 49ers.“This is so wonderful for Brock Purdy,” Tom Brady Sr. told KPIX’s Vern Glenn. “I mean I love Jimmy G, but for a rookie getting his first start, and, frankly, getting it against Tommy is going to be a memory he’ll never forget.
Purdy spent Sunday night and Monday appreciating “everyone in my life who’ve played a part and given their time and love and support towards me and my family.” “He vibes with everyone here,” tight end George Kittle said. “He’s definitely serious but we enjoy his presence.” “Brock’s got a good edge to him,” Shanahan said. “He’s quiet, but I think he’s more respectful just being the younger guy in the room. You can tell how the rookies gravitate to him. He’s got good command over them.
