Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan are finalists for the Associated Press’ NFL Offensive Player of the Year and Coach of the Year awards, respectively.
SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy once again made the cut to the final three. He first did so among the 49ers’ quarterback trio to make this season’s roster, and now he’s among three finalists for the Associated Press’ NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honor.
For the 49ers to stay in Super Bowl contention, Shanahan needs Purdy to become the first rookie quarterback to win a conference championship, when they visit the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday. Purdy has produced eight wins since relieving an injured Jimmy Garoppolo on Dec. 4, after Garoppolo revived the 49ers’ playoff hopes and reprised his starter role once Trey Lance sustained a fractured ankle in the Sept. 18 home opener.
Purdy’s regular-season stats: 114-of-170 passes completed for 1,374 yards with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions, along with 13 rushing yards . Wilson totaled 83 catches for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns in all 17 games, starting 12 for the Jets, who went 7-10 and used three different starting quarterbacks, too.
