(Godofredo A. Vásquez/AP Photo)California’s Santa Clara (AP) — Brock Purdy dispels the myth that he’s just one of the NFL’s top playmakers and a product of coach Kyle Shanahan’s systems with every game he plays.
After passing for a career-high 368 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday to lead the 49ers to a 28-16 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, Purdy put on another outstanding performance that sent San Francisco to the top of the NFC rankings.
A little more than a year after being selected last in the NFL draft, Purdy leads the NFL in passer rating (116.9), yards per attempt (9.9), and completion percentage (70.2%). He is also on track to have one of the most productive seasons ever for an NFL quarterback.
His colleagues believe he should receive more recognition rather than Shanahan, Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, and others receiving all the praise.
