San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is making his first career start today vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He filled in for the 49ers last week when starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo exited the game with a foot injury that has knocked him out for the remainder of the regular season.
Purdy stepped in and defeated the Miami Dolphins while throwing for 210 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.
Purdy has impressed teammates all across the locker room with his confidence and display of leadership.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan, tight end George Kittle, and Deebo Samuel, all commented on the quarterback. He’s reportedly earned the nickname, ‘Big C**k Brock’ in the 49ers locker room.
Shanahan praised him a very unusual but colorful way:
“He’s got some balls out there. Forgive me for saying it that way.”
Kittle also used some interesting language to describe him:
“He’s got some cojones to him. If you’re not confident, guys feel that.”
Samuel followed the same theme in using words of praise for his teammate:
“Oh, he defintely has balls. It takes nuts to call a timeout without Kyle calling it.”
