San Francisco 49ers veteran tackle Trent Williams likened rookie quarterback Brock Purdy to Hall of Famer Peyton Manning after Sunday's win over the Miami Dolphins.
head coach Kyle Shanahan described rookie quarterback Brock Purdy on Wednesday as a"quiet" guy with a"good edge," but veteran left tackle Trent Williams painted a very different picture.
"Mr. Irrelevant" has quickly become the focus of the 49ers’ offense after taking over for starting quarterbackSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy celebrates after throwing a touchdown pass against the Miami Dolphins in Santa Clara, California, Dec. 4, 2022. Purdy went 25 of 37 for 210 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Niners to a 33-17 victory and win his teammates over in the process."He carries himself the same way," Shanahan said Wednesday of Purdy’s demeanor after the win."Brock’s got a good edge to him. He’s quiet, but I think he’s more respectful just being the younger guy in the room. You can tell how the rookies gravitate to him. He’s got good command over them.
"Our scout team from [LB] Fred [Warner] and all those guys, they love him. He’s aggressive over there. He is not shy in anything he does, but he’s fit in with our team well, and he’s understood his role, and now it’s gotten a lot bigger, but I don’t think he changed that. He just keeps being him, and we’ll see how it plays out."
