Long before 49ers rookie Brock Purdy was making waves in the NFL, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni already was familiar with the quarterback’s game.
And Sirianni followed it all, especially as he was scouting late-round quarterbacks.
"You saw what [Purdy] did for that program, right? Matt's obviously a great head coach, but he got a great quarterback in Brock Purdy," Sirianni continued."... I'd check the score, Purdy had an awesome game and they won again. And that's what I noticed with him, that he's a winner. "When you're close with other coaches like that, you have conversations back and forth -- and this is going back to when Brock was at Iowa State -- like, 'Hey, what are you doing? We watched this on tape right here, this looks good, this and that.' The common theme, always, from them was that we've got a quarterback that can lead the way and find the right place to go with the football consistently.
