Brock Purdy is the NFL’s new rising star. After Jimmy Garoppolo’s end of the season, hardly anyone would have expected that the quarterback, who was labeled “Mr. Irrelevant” last year, might lead the San Francisco 49ers so far into the playoffs. After five NFL games, the 23-year-old still has an impeccable record. He is also only the third rookie quarterback to win his first two playoff games as a starter. As a result, some are already comparing him to club icons such as Joe Montana and Steve Young. But is Purdy really legendary? ran compare the statistics.
