49ers quarterback Brock Purdy made a name for himself in high school and college as a productive leader.
Manucci took more breaks than usual with his aspiring quarterbacks that afternoon. Trips to the grocery store and Christmas shopping were aborted after receiving text updates that said no more than, “Brock is in!”
He’s plenty relevant now, entrusted with getting the 8-4 49ers to the playoffs and possibly beyond as they wait and see whether Garoppolo’sPurdy makes his first NFL start Sunday against theSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy walks off the field after the 49ers 33-17 win over the Miami Dolphins at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Dec. 4, 2022.

A three-year starter at Perry, Purdy passed for 4,405 yards and 57 touchdowns as a senior and also rushed for 1,107 yards, leading his team to the state title game as Arizona’s Gatorade 6A Player of the Year. He had 8,932 yards passing and 107 touchdowns in his high school career. Through it all, Purdy’s approach remained consistent. Garoppolo’s first impression of Purdy was “the kid is serious about football.” It has been that approach in terms of preparation and work ethic that has helped carry Purdy beyond a generous 6-foot-1, 220-pound stature that limited interest, both in college recruiting and NFL scouting.
At Perry, players who were deemed to have committed mental errors on film received a “bucket”. The offenders sat on a bucket and watched their teammates run sprints.“Then he spent two weeks litigating why he didn’t deserve the bucket and promised he’d never get another one,” said David Klecka, a former Perry assistant and now an athletic director at another Arizona high school. “He never did, and it wasn’t unusual for players to get two a game.
A bout with mononucleosis going into his junior year slowed recruiting interest in Purdy, although it picked up as a senior when the likes of Nick Saban at Alabama began showing interest. He felt wanted at Iowa State, and wasted no time making an impression.
