The San Francisco 49ers endured a terrible crisis last season, which was visible in their matchup. All professional athletes, including Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, were having difficulty because of the terrible injuries they sustained during previous competitions. There was no hope for the team because the quarterback situation was so dire. This was when this rising star stepped in to save the day.
The 23-year-old Brock Purdy stole the show with his superb performance. On a 54-yard scoring drive, led by Brock Purdy, the 49ers were able to score a touchdown pass to Kyle Juszczyk. Just before halftime, they added another 76-yard touchdown drive that ended with a touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey, giving San Francisco a lead that they maintained. Despite some setbacks, Purdy managed to win the hearts of millions. For his act of bravery, 3x SB champ Steve Young compared him with this Star Wars Protagonist.

On top of that, he regards Brock Purdy as the Star Wars character Luke Skywalker, who grows from a humble man to a legend.
“It’s like Luke Skywalker — right away, he had it….he has the Force, and maybe as strong as anybody who’s played. He’s not the fastest guy. he’s not the strongest arm. But he has the Force, and maybe as strong as anybody who’s played.”
With this statement, he predicted Purdy’s future and how his fightback spirit would make him the greatest. Purdy was suffering horrendous injuries, yet he chose to fight back in the last season. As the offseason comes to a close, he is highly motivated to give his best in training sessions.

Brock Purdy had his ligament surgery, and he is all set to ace his training session. After making a massive impact as a third-string quarterback, fans have high expectations for him. Purdy managed to score 1,374 touchdowns last year. During this season, he will be vying for the rookie quarterback position alongside Trey Lance.
Last year, Trey Lance couldn’t perform due to his injury, which led Purdy to play in his place. Now that both players are fit and able to compete, the question of the next-best quarterback comes into play. Well, the possibilities could be many. Let’s hope that may the force be with the 49ers.
