How PFF Purdy rated, 49, in an impressive win over the Seahawks

It was an impressive night for Brock Purdy in the 49ers’ 21-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, and his PFF score gives more insight into his performance.

Coach Kyle Shanahan believes Purdy’s maturity looks far beyond his years.

“He’s definitely the most balanced rookie ever,” Shanahan said after the game. “He’s been like that since he got here. From what I heard about him in college, I think he was very similar. He’s been on his toes all week.”

“Even he wasn’t sure if he was going to be able to go or not, I think that was uncomfortable for him because he didn’t know what to expect until he got into the game. Under the circumstances, we didn’t have any options or other options, but he He got comfortable and got better as the game progressed. It was unbelievable.”

Purdy completed 17 of his 26 attempts for 217 yards, threw two touchdown passes and was on the field for all 64 offensive plays. The Iowa product’s ability to play at a high level through his injuries to help lead the 49ers to an NFC West-clinching victory earned Purdy more Out of respect from teammates and coaches.
