Can the football prodigy lead his team one step closer to the Lombardi Trophy? We sure hope so, considering the kind of performance he’s given throughout the year.

As the event got closer, Brock Purdy took the podium and addressed the media about various things.

Recently, the San Francisco 49ers QB drew inspiration from the moment he took his team to the SB LVIII. Will he succeed in beating Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs?

Brock Purdy draws inspiration from the great Tom Brady

The reporter in the room reminded Purdy of the 2022 regular-season game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He asked him about how that winning experience might benefit him in the upcoming Super Bowl. Not to forget, this was Purdy’s first game as a starting QB, and he outplayed Tom Brady! For all we know, the Super Bowl situation is quite similar to a matchup against Tom Brady.

Brock Purdy emphasized stopping the opposite QB and giving them minimum possession going forward. He described his experience and said, “Yeah, I think it’s very similar just in terms of Tom Brady is on the other sideline you know, we got to put up points, we got to score, because that’s the greatest of all time on the other side.” Drawing inspiration from the past, Purdy plans to maintain possession of the ball for as long as he can and put up as many points on the board as possible.

A similar situation can happen against Patrick Mahomes and his squad, as Purdy praised a “really good” KC Chiefs defense.

How Purdy choked Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

It was in December 2022 when Brock Purdy was chosen as a starting QB to go against Tom Brady and his Bucs. This came after Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance were recovering from their injuries, and Purdy got his big break. He beat the Bucs with a final score of 35-7. Purdy was 16-21 for 185 yards in that game. He threw two touchdowns, and one of them was meant for the books.

It was Brock Purdy’s 27-yard pass to Christian McCaffrey that put him in the spotlight. Brady might have had a hard time believing his eyes, but he was a gentleman, and he congratulated Purdy later. Since that moment, he has permanently cemented himself as a Niners starter.

In his second year in the league, now that he is taking his team to the Super Bowl, imagine the legacy he has the potential to leave behind.
