Brock Purdy plays for the San Francisco 49ers. In 2022, NFL teams chose new players in the draft. Purdy was the last player they picked. Now he leads the NFL in career passer rating. This score measures how well a player throws the ball. His score is 105.6, above Lamar Jackson and Aaron Rodgers. Purdy reached 1,500 throws in a 23-17 win over the Washington Commanders. That number let him enter the career list.
Purdy makes quick choices and throws the ball well. He understands coach Kyle Shanahan's plans. He often knows where to throw before a teammate has space to catch the ball. He also moves away from players trying to stop him. This season, other teams have brought him down behind the starting line just five times. He leads the NFL with 14 throws for touchdowns, which score points.
Strong teammates help him, too. Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle can catch short passes and then run farther with the ball. Trent Williams helps keep other players away from Purdy. Shanahan's plans and these teammates help Purdy succeed.
