Purdy has yet to lose a regular-season game. He is a perfect 10-0 heading into this weekend's road game against the Cleveland Browns, coming off a four-touchdown performance in a 42-10 rout of the Dallas Cowboys.
The young quarterback has caught the attention of the NFL world, including Brady, who had an opportunity to face a Purdy-led 49ers team on the field last season.
"You don't hear of guys like Brock Purdy until Brock Purdy's doing amazing things out on the field," Brady said on his "Let's Go!" podcast, per Athlon Sports, "so it's kind of a fun story, and I hope it continues for him because he seems like he's a really humble young man, and he wants to go out there and do great things.
"I think the more you have that chip on your shoulder like he does, and there were not quite the expectations, it's nice to go out there and continue to prove people wrong."
Brady is equally impressed by the 49ers, who remain undefeated five weeks into the season. The team has been dominating opponents, owning a league-leading plus-99 point differential.
The retired quarterback sees championship potential in Purdy's squad.
"[The 49ers are] doing a great job, and I played him last year, and they've got a great team," Brady added. "I played on a lot of great teams over the years, too, and what did we do? We controlled the line of scrimmage, we ran the ball well, we stopped the run, they rushed the passer. They've been playing with leads, and I give coach [Kyle] Shanahan a lot of credit, too, because he's done a great job."
