As 49ers tight end George Kittle sees it, the down times at Iowa State might have been the best thing to set up Brock Purdy for the NFL.
“Everyone can love you one week and hate you 24 hours later. That’s just football.”
Purdy showed a hint of that resiliency in the 49ers’ playoff opener last week against the Seattle Seahawks. He got off to a rough start, including missing a wide-open Deebo Samuel on the first play of the game,, completing 18 of 30 passes for 332 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions, and adding another TD on the ground.
“If you’re the reason you lost, being able to bounce back from that and maintain your confidence, that’s an acquired skill set,” Kittle said. “Not everybody has that. “If you’ve won your entire life, you might not know how to bounce back, especially when the pressure is at its highest.” Purdy, the 262nd and final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, leads the 49ers into Sunday’s divisional-round playoff game
