Quarterback Brock Purdy said of his initial impression upon joining the 49ers: “Everyone is hungry to win the whole thing. That hasn’t changed.”
SANTA CLARA — Yes, Brock Purdy is making a fabulous first impression as a starting quarterback, from delivering three wins to playing hurt to even distributing a wholesome Christmas card throughout the 49ers’ locker room.
The NFC West-champion 49ers are adamant they have no plan to ease off their throttle, regardless of whether or not they can climb up from the No. 3 seed when the playoffs open in a month. “I sort of sensed it from the jump,” Purdy recalled of the 49ers’ vibe in spring workouts. “The way meetings were ran, the way we went through OTAs and the structure of it, and the intensity from guys like Fred Warner and Nick Bosa and Trent , all those guys.
“I want to win all three games so that we’re hot going into the playoffs. I don’t want to get cold,” Kittle said. “We have a rookie quarterback that needs all the reps he can get.”
