“We got a quarterback.” 49ers star pass rusher Nick Bosa was one of many impressed by the play of rookie QB Brock Purdy in a 35-7 rout of the Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“I had lot of confidence in him, but obviously it’s the NFL and you got to go perform,” Bosa said. “And he did that pretty darn good.”
Purdy seems to have earned the respect of his teammates in no time. His commitment to preparation has been noticed since the minute he first walked into the 49ers' facility. The young quarterback helped running back Christian McCaffrey adjust to Kyle Shanahan’s offensive system upon arrival, and then did not skip a beat when his number was called in Week 13.
Bosa shared that the Purdy’s confidence is what has impressed him most while getting to know him. The star pass rusher also noticed something that the rookie quarterback does after touchdowns that likely earns points with his offensive linemen. “Each time [Purdy] scored, he waited on the sideline,” Bosa said. “Usually [quarterbacks] go back and look at the iPad or whatever, and talk to their coaches. He waited for the extra point, and then congratulated all the O-linemen each time.Brock Purdy’s dad is feeling all the emotions 😢
