Purdy, the last overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, is set to become the third-youngest quarterback to start a Super Bowl. A victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas on February 11 would make Purdy the second-youngest quarterback to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
A special moment between Purdy and his defensive teammate, Nick Bosa, was captured by "Inside the NFL" in the Levi's Stadium locker room after the NFC Championship Game victory.
"Bro, the fact that you are doing this blows my mind," Bosa told Purdy.
Bosa, clearly in awe of Purdy's rapid ascent, asked his quarterback if he anticipated being this good this quickly. The humble Purdy responded, "Honestly, I could do better, bro."
Bosa truly wanted to know what this quick rise meant to the 24-year-old quarterback, asking, "How much confidence did you have because I was the second pick in the draft, and I lack confidence at times?"
The quarterback just expressed his gratitude, looking forward to continuing their journey together.
