Brock Purdy Profile - Bio, Game Log, Career Stats, Draft, College, News & Videos

Brock Richard Purdy is the current starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers franchise. Only in his second year in the NFL, Purdy has quickly taken the league by storm and has been a phenomenal find for the five-time Super Bowl Champions. The last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft has gotten off to a great start by winning all of his five regular season games in 2022 after he was thrust into action due to injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, both of whom were ahead of him in the pecking order at the time. With the way his career has started out, the 6 foot 1 inch, 220-pound signal caller looks set to carve out an exceptional career in the NFL.

Brock Purdy Early Life

Purdy was born on December 27, 1999 in the city of Queen Creek, Arizona, which is a suburb of Phoenix. Born to parents Shawn and Carrie Purdy as the middle child of three, Brock has an older sister and a younger brother. Attending Perry High School in Arizona, he compiled a 27-13 record and became Arizona’s Gatorade Player of the Year in his senior season.

As per Preston Jones, one of his high school football coaches, Purdy had the ability to rally his teammates and get guys to listen to him. He showed natural leadership qualities, something very important in the quarterback position. After being seen as a three-star prospect, the 23 year-old committed his college career to Iowa State where he would spend the next four years perfecting his craft.

Playing for the Iowa State Cyclones football team, Purdy continued to develop and mature his game over the course of the next four years. His Iowa State football coach Matt Campbell stated that Brock was a complete team player and never bothered about school or individual records. He has the unique ability to do what is best for the team and that is pretty much all he cares about.

He started his college football career as a third-string quarterback in his freshman year but very soon found himself in the thick of things starting eight games as the two quarterbacks above him got injured and had poor showing respectively. He put up over 12,000 passing yards and 81 passing touchdowns as against only 33 interceptions in four years at Iowa State. He also added 19 rushing touchdowns to go along with over 1,000 rushing yards. The Cyclones football team had four consecutive winning seasons for the first time in their history which was in large part due to the contributions of Purdy.

Brock Purdy Family Background

Brock Purdy was born as the second child in the family of five. His father Shawn Purdy was also into sports as he played minor league baseball for eight seasons. It seems that his sporting prowess has trickled down to his kids as well, especially with Brock reaching the biggest stage gridiron football has to offer. Both of Brock’s parents are extremely grateful for the opportunity their son has received and have been a strong pillar of support for him throughout his journey thus far.

Brock Purdy Father

Shawn Purdy who was a minor league pitcher is from Saint Cloud, Florida. Currently living in Queen Creek, Arizona, he studied Communications at the University of Miami as per his Facebook bio. After his baseball career came to an end, he became the owner of Fantastic Pools & Spa's LLC.

Speaking to Sports Spectrum earlier in 2023 about his son Brock, the senior Purdy said that his son had always had to prove himself and he just wanted him to get his chance during the draft and that the family was very relieved when it finally came. Being a professional sportsman himself, Shawn was able to help his son navigate his rookie year in the league and just help keep him calm at all times.

He further added that they wouldn’t talk too much about life in the big leagues to avoid any added pressure. However, he did say that he would just encourage his second born to play his game on his terms.

Brock Purdy Mother

Needless to say Brock’s mother, Carrie Purdy, is equally passionate about her son’s football journey. His mother is originally from Lake Forest, California as is mentioned on her Facebook profile. At present, she is the V.P. at Fantastic Pools & Spas, LLC which is owned by her and her husband Shawn.

On the Sports Spectrum interview earlier this year, Carrie confessed that she is the biggest cheerleader of her son. She has been a constant and unwavering support system for all her kids. Now that one of her sons is in the NFL while her youngest one is playing college football, she is very busy going to their games and just enjoying the success of her children.

Brock Purdy Siblings

Brock is the middle child and has an older sister named Whitney and his younger brother is Chubba. Whitney used to play softball at Southeastern University and was pretty good at it. When they were children, Whitney would be able to throw farther than Brock which would frustrate her younger brother.

On the other hand, Chubba is 22 years old and plays college football as a quarterback for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. He also attended Perry High School just like his brother and was his backup for the first two years. However, he put up great numbers in his junior and senior seasons as he had over 9,000 passing yards and 111 touchdowns.

At the end of his high school career, Chubba attended Florida State University for his first two years and then transferred to the University of Nebraska which is where he is at the moment.

Brock Purdy Fiancée

The current 49ers starting quarterback recently got engaged to Jenna Brandt. She was also a student-athlete at Iowa State University where she played on their volleyball team as the setter. In 2021 she transferred to the University of Northern Iowa but her relationship with Brock was still going strong.

Brandt comes from a very close family and is one of four siblings. Her parents are Kevin and Amy Brandt and her siblings are Kaylyn, Isaiah and Morgan. For Jenna, spending quality time with her parents and siblings is what she enjoys the most and her decision to attend Iowa State University was also made on the basis of being around her siblings.

While Purdy and Brandt had been seen publicly before, they first announced themselves as a couple on Instagram in November 2022. Jenna is a huge supporter of her soon-to-be husband and is seen regularly attending his games wearing the 49ers colors. In July 2023, Brock proposed to his college sweetheart and the couple are now enjoying the next phase of their lives together.

Brock Purdy Draft

The story of Brock Purdy is a very unusual one as it is a very rare one. Purdy was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers with the last pick of the 2022 draft making him last year’s Mr. Irrelevant. The Mr. Irrelevant title is given to each year's final pick in the NFL and it has been given importance to make the drafted player feel just as important as all the other players who have been selected ahead of him.

Until Brock Purdy was thrust into action last year and until he was shown on the biggest stage of the game, most of the previous Mr Irrelevants never made as much of an impact on the game. This has made Purdy’s case quite an interesting one and he has quickly gone on to become Mr. Relevant as people are now calling him.

Some of the other notable players from the 2022 NFL Draft include Aidan Hutchinson, Sauce Gardner (defensive rookie of the year), Garrett Wilson, (offensive rookie of the year), Kenny Pickett, Chris Olave, etc.

Brock Purdy NFL Journey

Brock Purdy’s journey in the NFL is still very young as he is just in his second year in the league and has only played in a handful of games till now. Having said that, Purdy was selected by the 49ers to provide backup duties to former first-overall pick Trey Lance once Jimmy Garoppolo left the team. However, with both quarterbacks going down injured for the season and with Purdy making the 53-man roster, he was put into action sooner than he might have expected.

The former Iowa State quarterback proved many doubters wrong as he led a dominant team to the postseason without dropping a single game from his five starts. He then led the team all the way to the NFC Conference Round and might have even featured in his first-ever Super Bowl had it not been for his elbow injury.

Brock Purdy Net Worth

In 2022, Brock Purdy signed his rookie contract with the 49ers for a four-year deal which is set to earn him $3,737,008. In his contract, he earned a $77,008 signing bonus and has an average salary of $934,252. Despite this modest contract in terms of the NFL, Purdy’s net worth is reportedly around $5 million. It is worth noting that he did make some money from a couple of NIL deals while he was in college but the amount is unknown.

Brock Purdy Brand Endorsements

Now that Brock Purdy has been assigned as the starting quarterback going forward, he is sure to earn more and more brand endorsement deals. With the way he is leading the 49ers, and with his stock rising with several analysts backing him to succeed at the highest level, it will only be a matter of time before many more brands line up for a chance to sign him as their brand ambassador.

With that said, Purdy has already struck deals with the likes of Alaska Airlines and Buffalo Wild Wings. Moreover, he also signed his latest deal with Toyota which according to the brand was a perfect fit for themselves as Purdy was the next big thing in the NFL and is only 23 years old.

Brock Purdy Achievements

Even though Purdy is just in his second year in the NFL at present, he still has a few records to his name mostly because of the position at which he was drafted. Of course, if he can sustain and better his level of play in the league in the years to come, there is no doubt that he will be able to break many more records. For now, the records he holds are as follows:

• First Mr. Irrelevant to throw a touchdown pass.

• Only quarterback in his first career start to beat a team led by Tom Brady.

• Only quarterback after Aaron Rodgers to record a passer rating of 115 or more in his first two starts.

• Only quarterback in NFL history to throw at least two touchdowns in his first six games and also win all six games.

• First quarterback to have a passer rating of above 95 in all of his first six regular season starts.

• Became the lowest-drafted quarterback to ever start and win a playoff game

• Became the first rookie quarterback after the merger to throw for over 200 yards in consecutive NFL postseason games.

Brock Purdy Contract

Brock Purdy who is a seventh-round draft pick from the 2022 NFL Draft signed a 4-year rookie deal with the San Francisco 49ers last year. His contract is worth $3,737,008 and he received a signing bonus of $77,008 which is also the same money that is guaranteed to him. His average salary comes up to $934,252. Barring any catastrophic incidents occurring between now and 2025, Purdy shall be eligible for a huge contract by the end of this season.

Brock Purdy House

Being an NFL player who is the starting quarterback for one of the biggest franchises in the league must mean that he has his own house somewhere in the city. In the case of Purdy, though, even if things have fallen into place for him quickly, there is no denying the fact that he is still on his seventh four-year rookie deal as a result of which he isn’t near the top of what most other starting rookies are making.

Although the details of his house are not revealed, what we do know is that he lives with two of his buddies. This means that when he is done playing a game, he heads back to his house which he shares with two other people. This will no doubt be a temporary thing for Purdy as he will surely love to get his own place sooner rather than later.
