Brock Purdy throws the ball for the San Francisco 49ers in American football. He now leads the NFL's career passer rating list. This score measures how well a player passes the ball. Purdy reached 1,500 throws in a 23–17 win over the Washington Commanders. He needed this many throws to join the list. His score is 105.6, above Lamar Jackson and Aaron Rodgers. In 2022, the 49ers chose him last from the new players in the NFL draft.
Purdy thinks quickly and understands coach Kyle Shanahan's plans. He knows where to throw before a teammate is ready to catch. He also puts the ball into small spaces between other players. His quick feet help him escape players who try to stop him. This season, he leads the NFL with 14 passes that scored touchdowns.
His teammates also help him succeed. Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle can catch short passes and then carry the ball further. Trent Williams helps keep other players away from Purdy. Mike Evans has also played well this year. Purdy's decisions and the strong players around him help each other.
