Brock Purdy is in his first full offseason as the team’s clear-cut starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers after he was limited much of last season as he rehabbed his shoulder injury. But it sounds like he is making the most of it.
During a recent press conference, San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle sounded off on the young quarterback as he praised his growth and comfort in the offense.
“I feel like he’s just more comfortable with the offense,” Kittle said according to David Bonilla of 49ers webzone. “He seems very comfortable with it, and he seems like he’s taking it and making it his offense. Just his confidence in the pocket, throwing the ball, telling guys, ‘Hey, you need to do this. You need to push your route depth here. Yeah, you need to run out of it.’
“He just has this confidence, and he just has this, like, ‘This is my job.’ And it’s not something that — I want to say you’re always fighting for your job, but he’s like, ‘I’m making this job better. I’m getting better while I’m out here.’”
We’ll have to see whether or not that comfort level translates to more success for Purdy this upcoming season.
