When Brock Purdy stepped in as quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, his early success was initially seen as a surprise.
Now that the last pick in this year's draft has kept up that level of play for three straight starts, it's becoming expected.
San Francisco is assured of at least the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs and still have a chance to move up if Minnesota and Philadelphia falter down the stretch. He threw two TD passes in a relief effort of a Week 13 win against Miami and then has won his first three starts, throwing two touchdown passes in each game.
Purdy has made it look easy, taking advantage of an offense that features several star playmakers and an elite play-caller in coach Kyle Shanahan.
