Unbelievable: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy Said Choosing 49ers Was The Biggest Mistake He Has Ever Made….
Seemingly out of nowhere, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has quickly emerged as one of the top signal-callers in the entire NFL since entering the league in 2022.
After he was the very last player selected in the 2022 NFL Draft, all Purdy has done during his time with the 49ers is help lead the team to back-to-back appearances in the NFC Championship Game and a spot in the Super Bowl this past season.
The success that the young quarterback has experienced is resulting in endorsement opportunities from companies looking to take advantage of his current time in the spotlight.
Recently, it was revealed that Purdy is now a spokesperson for Pioneer Corn, a brand of corn seed typically used by farmers (via Pioneer Seeds U.S. on Twitter).
While other young NFL superstars might be endorsing popular products like Gatorade or Nike apparel, Purdy has decided to help sell a product that he is actually quite familiar with.
In the clip shared on Twitter by Pioneer Seeds, the San Francisco quarterback revealed that he used some of the Pioneer corn seeds while working on a farm owned by his in-laws.
On the football field, Purdy has been just about everything the 49ers could have asked for during his two seasons with the franchise.
No one expected much from him as the last pick in the 2022 draft, but he has, obviously, exceeded all of the expectations he was given back then.
Now entering year three with San Francisco, Purdy will attempt to help his team capture the Super Bowl win that has eluded them during each of the last two seasons.
Both Daniel Jeremiah and Lance Zierlein of NFL.com expect the 49ers to draft a defensive lineman in Round 1 despite all they did during free agency.
The 49ers’ no. 1 priority during free agency was their defensive line. Have they finished tinkering with it, or will they continue to prioritize it during the upcoming draft?
Both Daniel Jeremiah and Lance Zierlein of NFL.com expect the 49ers to draft a defensive lineman in Round 1 despite all they did during free agency. Let’s recap: They released Arik Armstead, let go of Javon Kinlaw, Chase Young, Randy Gregory and Clelin Ferrell, signed Leonard Floyd, Yetur Gross-Matos and Jordan Elliott, and traded for Maliek Collins. Talk about an overhaul. The only defensive linemen returning from last season are Nick Bosa, Javon Hargrave, Drake Jackson, Robert Beal Jr., Kevin Givens and Kalia Davis.
After all those additions and subtractions during free agency, you’d think the 49ers turn their attention to other positions in the draft, considering they have big needs on the offensive line and in the secondary. But the 49ers don’t value those positions nearly as much as they value their defensive line. They want to have the best defensive line in the NFL, and they don’t have that right now. They have Nick Bosa and a bunch of other solid defensive linemen who can rotate and platoon.
But Arik Armstead was their second-most-dominant defensive lineman when healthy, and now he’s gone. So it’s possible the 49ers might decide to spend their first-round pick on a defensive tackle who could develop and replace Maliek Collins in a year.
