Brock Purdy's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. After being selected as the "Mr. Irrelevant" in the 2022 NFL draft, Purdy took over as the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers in 2023 and led the team to an appearance in Super Bowl LVIII.
Last season wasn't kind to the 49ers, as they finished 4-11 and missed the playoffs. However, with the return of key players, fans are expecting Purdy to guide the team to another Super Bowl run this year. But not everyone is convinced, as analyst Colin Cowherd has expressed doubts about Purdy's ability to lead the 49ers to success, naming other teams as potential contenders for the Lombardi Trophy.
Despite the skepticism, the 49ers have shown their faith in Purdy by offering him a lucrative 5-year, $265 million contract extension in May. The team believes in Purdy's potential, and the young quarterback will have the opportunity to prove his doubters wrong as the 49ers prepare for the upcoming season.
