Shanahan and Griese Talk QB Development Headed into Year 3 with Purdy
This offseason marks an important career first for Brock Purdy, who has put together a remarkable first two seasons in the NFL. Believe it or not, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback hasn't had the opportunity to enjoy a healthy offseason as QB1 until this year.

In spite of those things, the now third-year QB was able to continue his upward trajectory throughout the 2023 campaign, so much so, that he led San Francisco to a Super Bowl LVIII appearance in his first full year as a starter.
