Mr. Relevant: The Improbable Rise of Brock Purdy…

In this video I talk about the unlikely rise of Brock Purdy. From Perry High School to Iowa State to Mr. Irrelevant to the 49ers starting QB…

[@DaWARRoom]

Is Brock Purdy the future of the 49ers⁉️

[@NattyGymBro]

I don't know, but as of now, he's looking better than both Garoppolo and Lance. I hope he continues to improve and become the next 49ers franchise QB.

[@thebeasters]

Hell yeah

[@Trialbyfire9]

Not yet but he is fixing to become that guy. The same people who love him now will be the same who turn on him as soon as he reveals he is human. They did it to Jimmy , Trey, Kyle , and they will do it to Purdy also. On a different note I want to see how Purdy finishes out the rest of the year before i form a accurate opinion on what I believe will be the correct option . We might not all agree but one thing we can’t do is Judge any player off 2 1/2 games , with that said he does look the part thus far .

[@williewhite1161]

Brock Purdy will be the next Joe Montana.

[@tsuvtom7668]

@@williewhite1161 I could see that happening. He has amazing quick release and accuracy.

[@kingvalor8265]

I would like to add a little to this story as a teammate of his in high school: he didn’t get any college offers after high school until Alabama offered him a walk on offer which led to multiple schools offering him which led to bama upping it to a full ride. Currently so proud

[@aaronsondag8347]

As an ISU fan I’m glad he became a Cyclone!!!

[@navy4735]

Unbelievable.........

[@maxb1985]

It has to be pretty cool seeing him in the NFL. I'm a lifelong 9ers fan. I love jimmy but I really hope the best for this kid.

[@jcwynn4075]

Don't understand why Saban would basically say Purdy was average at best when they offered him a full ride. Just doesn't add up. What context are we missing here?

[@bretarmstrong6303]

Man that's cool!

[@JuanRodriguez-jo5ix]

If Brock Purdy wins the Super Bowl for the 49ers there will be a movie about him in the future. This guy has defied all the odds and is resilient. Thank you War Room for putting this together.

[@masterchefdrip]

[@ungusbungus2486]

I at least hope there’s a movie about the buck game in like 2033

[@LaggyMcstutters]

Not another kurt warner movie

[@cancel.lgbtq.6892]

Will be a good SB between 49ers vs Bills or Chiefs.

[@Thundergun5]

They lucked into Purdy. This is the organization that drafted Solomon Thomas and Trey Lance, both third overall. Beathard... When they drafted Purdy they were admitting they still knew nothing about drafting a QB at all. They just hoped they'd get a camp arm. The entire NFL missed on Tom Brady. Montana was a third rounder. Even Steve Young had to play in Canada before getting a real job... NFL scouts have always been deeply stupid it seems... They decided to blow a 7th rounder on a camp arm while still hoping that Trey Lance somehow wasn't a complete bust.

[@yorkyufan]

Didn't know he was QB3 in college and he took the QB1 job just like that! History just repeats itself. Love it!

[@bvbxiong5791]

this kid got destiny on his side. you don't bench a guy like that.

[@Adonis20529]

Seizing the opportunity

[@jamesnguyen_1]

Reminds me of tua freshmen year 🎉

[@jcbvortex22]

He was a three star recruit in Arizona. It’s just when you’re not prototypical size everyone thinks of you as an underdog.

[@cole3converse]

And he won a New Years Six Bowl in Arizona at Iowa State. This year's Super Bowl.....is in the same stadium.

[@EverettoBurrito2740]

As a Iowa state fan I loved cheering him on for the cyclones and now for the 49er’s

[@jeffreypark]

You forgot to mention that he wears 13 because he and his dad are big Dan Marino fans. And who was at the stadium to watch the Dolphins v Niners game? Marino himself.

[@jiehuang954]

Talk about numbers, Jimmy G got hurt on week 13 and was replaced by #13!

[@Dutch3k5]

And the week before we shut out the saints. 13-0. It was foreshadowing

[@tsuvtom7668]

People say he has a low ceiling. They said that about Joe Montana too. Being a QB is 75% mental. Add in a quick release, accuracy and boom! there is Brock Purdy.

[@eric7441]

Same for Brady

[@mikemurray1506]

9ers got a hell of a deal on this pick. Nobody seen this coming. Genius pick.

[@navy4735]

I didnt I was like...ehhhh he will just fizzle out. uhhhh lol

[@stillmattwest]

49ers have the best late-round draft picks in the league.

[@deistmutt]

Probably because we passed on Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and vowed to not make that mistake again. :)

[@stillmattwest]

@@deistmutt oh and Mahomes.

[@francok38]

I think we got lucky picking him . But I'll take it all day :)

[@kathyrutherford4485]

As an Iowa State fan I am not surprised how well he is doing

[@tbirdtim]

I’m an old guy (66 years of age). I fondly remember when an another old guy (also 66) started out his NFL career back in 1979. His name is Joe Montana. I think most of you have heard of him. But what you might not know is that his main strength as a QB was his ability to be cool and calm while he lead his team (primarily the 49ers). I see the exact same presence with Brock Purdy. I pray he stays healthy. He is in my opinion the second coming of Joe Montana.

[@Emily_Paris]

I was and always will be a Joe Montana fan. I’m loving what Brock Purdy is doing. Go Niners!!!

[@370zenjoyer8]

I love joe Montana so much

[@DeKrampus]

They didn't call Montana "Joe Cool" for nothing.

[@c_wonder]

Mr. Purdy I am deeply apologized for doubting you in the beginning of the season. You are our savior !! Go 9ers !!

[@susievazquez3167]

Go 9ers

[@kyletheune6280]

The shot of the crowd cheering and his dad getting emotional should give EVERYONE goosebumps

[@gajofre]

As a niners fan I feel delivered from heaven.

[@saltywingsandavsfan]

I hope he continues this success. He was solid in college.

[@petermiller114]

Someone saw this coming. Kudos to the 49er staff for signing Brock.

[@mickeymacrae1589]

There’s a reason he made the 53 man roster and was the OG backup to Trey Lance

[@maxfit68906]

I’ve said it once and and I’ll say it again. He was a hidden gem. For those that doubt him, stand by. He’s waited for this moment his whole life.

[@Mysterio-hk9gj]

This inspirational NFL underdog story never gets the shine it deserves . Jim Plunkett's Parents were blind . They married and he was born .Then he Is the Number One Overall Pick . He gets destroyed in NE , and burns out . He joins his Hometown SF 49ers , and is a Bust . He then Joins the East Bay Oakland Raiders as a Backup . From 1980 - 1984 He has to scratch and claw for the Starter Job for 4 years all the while winning 2 SBs as a Backup in those 5 Seasons mostly .

[@jcbvortex22]

Actually, anyone who watched the 49ers preseason had an inkling that he could be good.

[@Vladpryde]

I'm reminded of the story of Ole Anderson telling Mark Calaway aka "The Undertaker" that he would never amount to anything and nobody would ever pay to see him wrestle. 40 years later he retired as the GOAT wrestler and is headed to the HOF. I hope BCB turns to the camera as he hoists his Lombardi and says "hey Saban.....thanks!"

[@atgdcommish608]

Nobody saw this coming, unless they watched Purdy at Iowa State, where he piled up 12,170 yards and 81 TDs as a 4-year starter. The skill was never in question, scouts were just leery of his size and not sold on his arm. But he definitely knows how to play QB.

[@NinersAmateurDraftScout]

The Super Bowl is also held in AZ this year so him winning the bowl will be that much sweeter

[@cyclonemama3907]

Watched Brock play at many Iowa State games in Ames. I'm so happy for his continued success. Go Brock, Go Cyclones, Go 49ers!

[@DrawingKid4]

Same

[@theghd2020]

Great video. This is the mini-movie that this moment deserves. Hopefully he has a long, legendary career and gets a feature length film about his story years from now… after an eventual MVP award, record statistics, and 4 Super Bowl wins (being hopeful, but realistic with my number there 😂).

[@Lets_RC]

As a Florida native 49er fan since the age of 6 I’ve seen the massive highs and the lowest of lows. Never strayed! I love this story that’s unfolding. This is the type of story that all young players should know about. That anything is possible if you stay focused and keep fighting for what you love. 9ers forever baby! Whooooooo!

[@gandix5516]

I call it the probable rise. When we drafted him I researched his career and Brock did two things consistently, enter a competitive situation and quickly become the teams long term starter. He’s smart, confident and doesn’t take football too seriously. He trusts in Gods plan making pressure/fear completely foreign to him. He executes the coaches game plan with 100% faith and no agenda for personal success. He’s the perfect quarterback for Kyle Shanahan. I was so excited when he first came in I must have sent 50 messages out to friends like “This is it!!” 😂😂.

[@mrcrossovermark1153]

He has such an amazing story so far and i hope it keeps getting better for him.

[@NITZERMODE13]

This so-called "Mr. Irrelevant" is destin for greatness! The future is very bright for you. Keep up the good work Brock and lead the 49ers to that much awaited 6th SB title.

[@antagonisstic]

Yup the 49ers should be 7-0 in the Superbowl's. But with the 49ers winning the last 2 games and if the Eagles lose the last 2. Then potential number 1 seed for the 49ers. Still waiting for Purdy to go over 350 yards with 4 TDs.

[@gibster9624]

So something that caught my attention recently was Brock Purdy was asked about why his Junior and senior years weren't nearly as good as his Sophomore year. His answer sticks out because I got the impression that he actually learned how to win. Nearly all draft prospects don't seem to have a solid grasp on that. A lot of them go to big programs, put up monster numbers and get drafted and all they've learned is how to put up stats. This is why you see a guy like Cam Newton who could nuke the league in his early years but once defenses catch up to him he was not the same guy.

[@aydenbertoldi5934]

That’s a great ass point good take.

[@chiliconkyle]

What was his answer?

[@gibster9624]

@@chiliconkyle He talked about how he was putting so much on himself that he didn't realize he didn't feel like he was a part of the team and that he was no longer having fun.

[@z4bando421]

Cam started to get injured and lost his athletic edge. Teams never caught up to him in the sense of figuring him out. Cam just got old and beat up, plus he played right before the league became flag football

[@spartandog1188]

Me being a Iowa state super fan along with my family I’m so happy for him and I love him. I wasn’t ever a 49s fan but now I am because of him. And yes I’m from Iowa and live there

[@suds2vyas]

I watched Purdy getting drafted live and then saw one of his video interviews in which he was expressing his gratitude after being drafted. He looked so calm and poised in that interview even after being the so called "Mr Irrelevant" , it made me think he might play a role for 49ers and maybe write some storybook script. I never thought my hunch will come true. Champions are defined less by their 'skills' and more by their 'character'. I definitely see a character in Purdy even if he is far lesser in skills than his NFL counterparts. I strongly feel he is destined for greatness. Only future will tell :)

[@BaloneySansWits]

Yes, but have you seen the video that FORETOLD his rise to glory? My Mr Irrelevant Parody? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ7UaINsgrWArNk

[@the_joester]

what a line: "What's happening right now is something we've never seen before and probably won't ever see again. Brock Purdy is the underdog of all underdogs: he is America's quarterback. He is Mr. Revelant."

[@franz289]

Talk about starting from the bottom. It's an incredible journey for him if they can keep going all the way to the SB. America loves a success story in sports as this, against all odds and shinning at every opportunity given.

[@Aburaojisan]

As an Cyclone fan, I really hoped this would happen. We've seen his mobility, accuracy, and everything else for a quarterback for the last 4 years. It was truly a blessing having Purdy and Breece Hall on the same team.

[@peacebridge9424]

It appears Purdy has much more real play time experience than most of the young QB, that helped him, and stand out. No sure he will become a star QB, but he is a solid QB in the NFL.

[@noelcallahan4825]

Beautiful story,very inspiring Purdy story ... Let's go 49ers❤

[@churchmouse1872]

Just watching today, the day after the first playoff game vs Seattle. He won again. I didn't know anything of his earlier doings. This video is almost making me cry with happiness. It's real. Someone pinch me....

[@jamesparker3189]

If he wins the Super Bowl and that is a big if, but if he does, I know someone will make a movie out of it

[@og9839]

He was the best qb in preseason… of course some people expected him to be the best qb on the roster. When JG returned, it was easier to go with him after Trey went down.

[@Gambit08]

Fantastic video, if Purdy ends up going all the way and winning the Super Bowl PLEASE make a new video telling his story.

[@aaronsondag8347]

Anyone who watched him at Iowa State knew!

[@timlaughman7074]

I’m a lifelong Niners fan ,but if you don’t follow this story you don’t love football.

[@Austin-OT]

I don’t even watch football or have heard of Brock but this video was amazing

[@poopagore]

I mean can we give a little praise to this kid for that catch at 1:55 ? was a beauty

[@OneManOnFire]

As a bench warmer in highschool I'm happy to see him be successful

[@richardb8004]

I would like to concur with the pervious poster referencing the "Joe Montana" era. He was a brilliant play maker and his ability to shift on the fly and turn a loss into 9+ yards upfield was epic. Brock is showing those kind of skill sets.

[@aliasskipstevens4246]

Man, that was so enjoyable to watch. You Sir, did your homework, know what people want to know/learn, and did an exceptional job putting it together. Great 10:01. Thank you.

[@Warren1221]

The Joe Montana comparison is not far fetch; cool under pressure, similar height and weight, average arm strength but accurate, and throws a very catchable ball. He has a long way to go, but it's hard not to notice the similarities.

[@williamroberts6803]

How many touchdowns in high school? Over a hundred in short seasons? In college over a hundred in shorter seasons? He has over 200 already? Dudes a stud. You see his ability to get the touchdowns compared to other quarterbacks in the league. I think Steve young . He does all the good stuff.

[@sunking2001]

The 49ers inherited the starting QB. He will be a "super-star." He is our future...and he's so young!!

[@Chris-ui4rg]

Nice inde-sports-docu bro. As good as I’ve seen, and current. This is the greatest story in sports right now. Way to be on the spot.

[@Sikjoon1]

Great Video! Never knew that's how he got that nickname "Mr. Irrelevant". Glad he got his opportunity.

[@lancatemujhin187]

I was BPs (that was his nickname because he could always put some gas on the ball!) Pop Warner coach. He was always the hardest worker on our team and on the field. He asked me if he had a chance. I told him he was gonna be in the NFL one day. I'm so proud of that boy!

[@ghxst.6494]

9 months after this video released, Brock went undefeated through the rest of the 2022 season and playoffs, leading the 49ers to the NFC Champ game, where he was injured, resulting in a loss to the Eagles. Now in 2023, Brock has led the 49ers to a 3-0 start, putting up 30 points in each game. This story is continuing to be the best underdog story I've ever witnessed, and the 49ers are already looking the best they've looked in basically my whole life, now with Brock leading the offense.

[@jeremiahporter6215]

It’s kinda sad as when he went to nick saben and he just started saying that purdy was trash in everything

[@ljprep6250]

Way to go, Mr. Irrelevant! You sure showed all of them (and us) what you're made of. Stay healthy, man, and bring home the Stupor Bowl ring your first year! You are now MR. RELEVANT! We love ya.

[@Thundergun5]

Called this. Called it waaaay before the first QB was injured. He plays QB with nothing to lose and has a ton of verifiable experience at playing QB, not just running around waiting for Christian Watson to stretch a defense wide open for everyone

[@soccerboss7924]

I haven’t been this excited about a niners player in a long time. Not because we haven’t had good players but because someone picked 6th round isn’t supposed to be this good and he gives me young play vibes, and prior grudge and draft respect as Brady

[@AlexDyerNoCalRealEstate]

Your vid is spot on. This is a story that deserves as much exposure as it can get. Very inspirational!

[@Thebob6]

It’s a 3 game sample. But it gets no better for a rookie. You never know where or when those special players emerge. But this kid seems like one of them.

[@jimmyfaherty8588]

I’m a Ram fan. I want this guy to succeed.

[@SuperSupersoda]

Why is beating out Nate Sudfeld in camp important to this story? The 49ers paid Sudfeld $2 million guaranteed, when they cut him, they had to eat that money and that cap space. Brock Purdy didn't just have to be better than Sudfeld, he had to be $2 million better.

[@johnsmokin]

Great breakdown on Brock's history. I didn't know most of this outside of his time with the niners. Awesome job. definitely subscribed!

[@dabossman3125]

As a Seahawks fan, I am happy for him and it is inspiring, I just wish he was drafted by another team

I have met him, tremendous young man! Season ticket holder, watched him 4 years at IowaState, the kid is a baller, loves the game! Ive never seen any qb, especially a rookie so poised in the pocket, i just wish my dolphins would have picked him instead of the trash man Tua! Brock and his dad are actually Dolphins fans too! Brock deserves this and very happy for him!

[@z3alious]

Great video awesome highlights thanks . This storyline is nutty. The chatter about Brock and Nate looking better than lance may have been true. I do think trey has a huge ceiling however , the stadium chanting purdy …. He is exactly the missing element this team has been needing for so long . The way he’s manipulating dbs. Taking hits, getting Seattle to jump Off sides without the coach telling him, like this is the missing component to this team

[@pauldandrea7012]

He seems to be the right guy with the right skills at the right time and place. He's fun to watch and makes others like Kittle fun again to watch.

Shocking that the War Room would mention Anybody who didn't have a New England(or especially NY) connection. Kudos however, for mentioning Purdy's AZ high school & Iowa St background(I'm not part of either area).

[@bradpaulsen7720]

49er Faithful here and have to say I was worried when Jimmy went down. I hadn’t followed Brock. After a few games it was obvious. What great poise and performances week after week. So stoked to see him take this team all the way. Oh and btw Great video!

[@markgrove2030]

Not an SF fan in many ways. But I have to support my local guys, the dogs and especially his story. I’ll be ecstatic if he performs in the post season and I will be watching. Maybe he gets to play a Super Bowl in front of home town fans. Supper happy for this kid and thanks for the coverage of him.
