The second week of the NFL Network's countdown of "The Top 100 Players of 2024" is underway, and on Tuesday, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy made his top 100 debut alongside teammates Nick Bosa, Deebo Samuel Sr. and the remaining of the athletes ranked 21-30. Purdy was voted onto the list at No. 28 by his peers, current NFL players, after putting together a career-best season in 2023 while leading his team to a Super Bowl LVIII run.
Purdy ended the 2023 season at the top of many of the league's top statistical categories including passer rating (113.0) and passing yards per attempt (9.6), fourth in completion percentage (69.4) and fifth in passing yards (4,280). His 4,280 passing yards set a single-season franchise record, surpassing the previous record held by former 49ers quarterback Jeff Garcia (1999-2003). Purdy's production in 2023 also earned him Pro Bowl honors and resulted in San Francisco's QB1 racking up the most votes of any player in the league.
