Few quarterbacks have burst onto the NFL scene with the same level of dominance as Brock Purdy. According to NFL research, the San Francisco 49ers' second-year sensation is the first quarterback in the Super Bowl era to start 5-0 in both his first and second NFL seasons.

Purdy is a flawless 10-0 as a regular-season starter. He has completed 183 of his 260 passing attempts for 2,369 yards and 20 touchdowns while throwing only two interceptions in those 10 regular-season starts.


Purdy has displayed remarkable accuracy along the way, completing 70.4 percent of his passes during the 10 starts. In the history of the league, only Chad Pennington has eclipsed that mark (70.8) through a quarterback's first 10 starts.

Purdy's passer rating of 121.1 through his initial 10 starts is historically good, ranking as the highest-ever passer rating by a quarterback in their first 10 starts. In addition, the only quarterback who has won more consecutive games to start a career is Ben Roethlisberger, with 15.

As the 49ers prepare to face the Cleveland Browns on the road in Week 6, the spotlight will undoubtedly be on Purdy. We'll see if the 23-year-old quarterback can keep his impressive streak alive.

49ers' Brock Purdy reflects on NFCCG, first start, surgery recovery, family's Tom Brady plans

On Thursday night, Brock Purdy joined several former San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks at the Dwight Clark Legacy Series event in San Jose. During the event, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, one of the moderators, asked the 24-year-old to rewind a couple of years and reflect on how he burst onto the NFL scene in 2022. Purdy's first significant playing time came when the 49ers lost two quarterbacks that season—first Trey Lance and then Jimmy Garoppolo. Purdy stepped in for Garoppolo against the Miami Dolphins, unaware that he would be the starter moving forward. "Jimmy went down, and they're like, 'All right, you're up,'" Purdy shared. "So I'm in tune to what we're doing against Miami's defense and stuff on the sidelines. And so, when they said that I was

Does 49ers QB Brock Purdy need Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel for success?

By David Bonilla
May 15

Rumors circulated before and during the 2024 NFL Draft about the possibility of the San Francisco 49ers losing one of their top two wide receivers—Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel. Such a scenario could have significantly impacted the team's success in the upcoming season and posed a potential blow for quarterback Brock Purdy, who has thrived alongside the dynamic duo on the field. However, none of these speculations came to fruition. Both Aiyuk and Samuel remain on the roster, at least for another season, though their future beyond that remains uncertain. Aiyuk is seeking a contract extension that would position him among the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. At the same time, Samuel already commands a significant salary following a deal rework in 2022.

Steve Young on keeping the 49ers competitive after paying Brock Purdy

The San Francisco 49ers are gearing up to elevate quarterback Brock Purdy to their highest-paid player status starting next year. Negotiations for a contract extension with the young signal-caller, entering his third NFL season, are on the horizon. Purdy's on-field performance has far exceeded his current salary. Last season, he set a single-season franchise record with 4,280 passing yards and led the 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance while earning a base salary of $870,000. Even for the upcoming season, his salary will only bump up to $985,000. That may sound like a lot to the ordinary person, but it is only a fraction of the team's salary cap. However, Purdy's next contract is expected to catapult him into the ranks of the NFL's highest-paid players. That title
