"It's been three years and 10 months since Purdy came here for the scouting combine. His on-field testing was such a dud that, well, he infamously got drafted last, No. 262 overall, by the 49ers. "Yeah, I'm not a guy that's going to really pop when it comes to the testing and all that kind of stuff," Purdy said after Friday's practice."
"He returns to Lucas Oil Stadium on the threshold of quarterbacking the 49ers (10-4) to their third playoff trip in four years. They control their playoff destiny, so long as they beat t he host Colts (8-6) on Monday night and then win at home against Chicago (10-4) and Seattle (12-3). Not bad for that clean-cut, Iowa State product who ran a 4.84-second 40-yard dash and simply thought "dang, this is pretty cool" to throw alongside seven other quarterbacks who'd get drafted."
Brock Purdy entered the NFL after a poor scouting-combine performance and was selected last, No. 262 overall. He now starts for the San Francisco 49ers, who are 10-4 and control their playoff destiny if they beat the Colts, then Chicago and Seattle. Purdy has led the team to four recent double-digit wins, averaging 31 points in those games. The 49ers are 3-0 in prime-time this season but have scored 26, 20 and 20 points in those wins. Wide receiver Jauan Jennings has six touchdown catches since Week 9, tied for second in the NFL.
