Over the past three seasons, the Faithful have had a front row season for the evolution of Brock Purdy from pick No. 262 of the 2022 NFL Draft to franchise quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers. Purdy's big opportunity came in Week 13 of his rookie season after both the quarterbacks in front of him on the depth chart suffered season-ending injuries. The former seventh-round pick took the reins of the offense in December 2022 and never looked back. He's since started 36 regular season games and six playoff contests, including Super Bowl LVIII. Before we officially kick off the second chapter of Purdy's career, let's take a look back at some of his most impressive statistics from 2022 to 2024.
