49ers quarterback Brock Purdy doesn’t play the media game like a rookie.
Not just playing football, with the seventh-round rookie from Iowa State having won four games as a starter after first coming off the bench on Dec. 4 to lead the 49ers to victory against the Miami Dolphins.
Purdy, who just turned 23, can also handle the interview game, where he comes off each week as honest, serious, sincere and willing to engage the media without lapsing into tired cliches and looking as if he’d rather be anywhere else. “Throughout my career of playing football, I’ve always wanted the truth and honesty from a coach, from the guy who’s trusting me to go out and play. That started since I was little playing ball. In terms of a coach telling you everything’s all good, I’m not about that. You can’t get better from that.”
“Going into my junior year, I feel like I was really hard on myself in terms of wanting to be perfect and I was hard on myself that I feel like it almost became a detriment . . . I have to have a clean slate in a clear mind in what I’m doing.”Listed at 6-foot-1, 220 pounds, Purdy can throw the ball at different arm angles to complete passes. He’s had more than one sidearm throw which has found it mark.
