Purdy actually strikes me as the type that will coach when he retires. He loves the game too much and is very competitive. Will be hard for him to not be around the game.

I don't know. These quotes from the article make it seem like he's not as obsessed as we thought:

"I never wrote down all the guys that were taken before me. I never came in mad," Purdy says. "More than anything, I was excited. I had an opportunity to prove to myself that I could play at this level, with this team. And I've been thankful more than anything. Honestly, it goes back to my identity, man. I'm not somebody who has football wrapped around my fingers 24/7 and it consumes my life. Yes, it's what I do, I take pride in it, and how I work and what I believe in."

"At the end of the day, man, I'm human. I'm not gonna be able to play this sport forever. Like I said, I sort of just have it loosely held. Football is my thing right now, I'm gonna be all in on it. If it's not to be, it's not my identity, and it's not life or death. If I get hurt and I have to do something else in my life, I'll be happy with that, too. … This is where God has me."

Not saying he can't be successful with this mindset, but I think it's good for players to have a chip on their shoulder, especially if they've been overlooked.

He's downplaying it. Lol that mind set comes from him in college trying to do too much and making those horrible turnovers. He's really into his faith, so he's saying that if it doesn't work out as a football player, he wont struggle to cope with that and lose his sense of identity.

He absolutely is obsessed with the game, apparently has been since he was a young kid. Hes just figured out how to cope with the ups and downs of it by realizing that there is more to life than being a football player, that's all.

we are good hands, my man!

Brock is without a doubt a competitor and "football is my thing right now, I'm gonna be all in on it."

Dude's putting in the work. In 12+ years, he will have moved on.

I would… oddly be okay with that while also devastated. Hahahah

id be thrilled we won it all and heart broken over "what could of been" if he kept playing. Lmao
You can be immature and write down the names of every quarterback drafted in front of you and tick off your relative accomplishments over the next 20+ years, and hold an incredibly long grudge over every team (all of them) that couldn't see your invisible inner amazing talent, or you can have inner strength and face the fact that those quarterbacks showed more at that time, and resolve to change that reality. I'm going with the guy with inner strength. Sure, the former can work, but it also makes you a D head, and a self centered lesser teammate.

You can also not talk about it either way, especially before you've truly made it.

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Just keep getting better.

I just think it's unhealthy to be that pissed off and resentful for that long. Lol just get better, keep your head down. Brock is in as good of a situation as one could possibly hope for. He just needs to focus on getting better every day and it'll take care of itself.

No way. Linebackers can't benefit from fame and fortune like quarterbacks can post career. And I don't remember that ring in 2014.

I was just referring to Borland being out after his first full year, and I was definitely joking. I expect Brock to ride it until the wheels fall off.

Lance truthers: "you can't make any judgements about lances game cause it's only been four starts, too small a sample size".

Also Lance Truthers: "Brock has played 7 games and that's a big enough sample size to say he has X,Y,Z bad habits. He's limited." X = Brock rolls out of the pocket early. Lmao

Which is it? Can we not say they have any issues cause it's a small sample size or is 7 so much more than 4 that it's enough to make judgements? Lol
