San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy received high praise from an unnamed NFL executive, who lauded the young quarterback’s talent and potential.
Nevertheless, the executive also emphasized the importance of Purdy finding more fire and intensity on the field, suggesting that it could be the key to unlocking his full potential as a legitimate great quarterback.
“Brock Purdy is one of the most talented arms that I’ve seen, however, I think he needs to find more fire. I want to see him get amped on the field. That’s a big key for him to become a legitimate great quarterback.”
Since his rookie season, the young quarterback has proven himself as a force to be reckoned with in the NFL, despite his late draft selection and cost-effective contract.
Over the course of his two seasons with the 49ers, Purdy has showcased his prowess and ability to lead his team to victory, outperforming many highly touted quarterbacks, like Bryce Young in the process.
