The Rise of Brock Purdy | Part 2 (NFL 49ers)

NFC Championship Sunday the 49ers hit the road for the second year in a row try to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl this time in Philly it's going to be loud it's going to be hostile frock pie what does he have to do to overcome and become the first rookie ever to lead a team to the Super Bowl he has to be Brock birie second and six heavy right with KD and Tyler crof two her left play action you know as I'm going back and and then I see Brandon iek wide open and all I can think is man this is going to be a big play F gets his head around looks left ball got hit and then all of a sudden boom just my arm as I'm coming through got pulled back and then I'm like okay something's not right Assan reic got him from the backside and tipped the ball straight up in the air soon as I saw that hit you know I I knew it was probably the elbow feel all this electricity and like fire pain shooting down my arm and I can't feel like my pinky and my my ring finger I couldn't feel anything it's almost like I got shot in my after reviewing the play the ball came out prior to the quarterback's hand going forward you know they reviewed the play it turned out to be a fumble and then I go to the sideline and tell Kyle like hey I don't know if you can call a pass play here and he's like well he's talking about like a deep play I'm like I don't know if I can throw he went and kept throwing and realized he could it and so there was no really discussion we're on the sideline taping my arm and every which way trying to see if it could help I'm warming up throwing and I I came throw 5 10 yards when I saw him trying to throw cuz I had the same injury and I know what it feels like when you still keep trying to throw I'm just like Lord how the heck are you bringing us this far and it this is how it's going to end this year Johnson's coming off the field you have to play the title game without a quarterback what are the odds that you have to go to your fourth quarterback and the fact that the fourth quarterback gets injured and then Brock pry goes back in obviously seeing Josh Johnson go down and getting knocked out of the game and you know right after that the turn to me cuz I'm still in my full uniform hey per you got to go back in so I throw off the jacket run back out and all the guys in the like yeah like let's go Brock and deep down I'm like I can't throw he knew he was like Hey I mean I'm not going to be able to throw the ball at all so you might as well have fun you don't have it what else you going to do we were trying to do everything we could at that point just trying to get you know something lucky to happen to go to the Super Bowl and this game is over congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles yeah they earned it they are going to the Super Bowl now the big question becomes you know what is the injury to Brock pie we had a house fullow you know and we had friends at State till like midnight cuz we were waiting for Brock to get home to talk and I'm like which kept our mind so we didn't have to worry or be sad or cry until we heard Bron's voice we uh getting an MRI tomorrow still in pain obviously but just got to get the MRI tomorrow come to find out yeah tour my UCL 49ers quarterback Brock pie will have surgery on his elbow however the good news is that it will not be Tommy John surgery immediately once I got my answer I was already in the mode of all right let's move forward and let's uh you know get this thing fixed with whatever I'm about to you know face in terms of you know coming back through injury and what people are going to say and all that kind of stuff that's definitely a test to you know what I believe in and what my family believes in as well you know I get hurt in the game NFC Championship you know there's some stuff being said people I feel like are quick to you know turn sometimes so to be able to just have my family you know they love me they love me for who I am not just because I play football in the NFL or anything like that they've been with me day one I'm excited for the journey and the road ahead it's going to be uh it's going to be good Brock Pie has come a long way from his hometown of Queen Creek Arizona just outside of [Music] Phoenix but those who knew him well will tell you he hasn't changed a bit he was known throughout campus for being a great person I mean we're talking cafeteria workers um custodians security guards they all knew Brock and they all love Brock because of what he did Preston Jones coached py for four years at Perry High School he says being a good person has always been more important to perie than being a good football player and the guy he was off the field was just as impressive as the Superstar he was on the field well just a couple months ago Perry quarterback Brock py was getting no big time recruiting national love that is no longer the case Brock per is now on everyone's radar the offers are coming fast and furiously you get offered by the best team in the nation Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Sabin how excited are you how did it all go down yes sir um my my family and I are so excited uh you know all the glory goes to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ um I just knew that uh he would have a plan for my family and I and um you know he came through opened some doors closed some doors throughout the whole process but um we're so excited for this opportunity and um you know coach Jeff Banks just got on the staff at Alabama came to a home visit last night got to know us got to know me personally and things like that and um so I mean we had a great talk great visit he's a great coach and great guy and um so then you know today he called my family and I and said that uh coach Sabin called him and told him to you know offer me a full ride scholarship so it's it's been a blessing and you know the funny thing is here as we're having this conversation as I step through the door as you have all these loved ones right behind us all of a sudden the phone r goes bling bling bling and LSU calls how cool is that just out of out of the blue all the Big Timers are coming in and they want Brock py to come their way yes sir um yeah we'll see where everything goes but um you know T now we're just trying to enjoy uh what's going on right now and uh you know I'm just very excited about Alabama and the opportunity there you come to San Francisco it's Joe Montana it's Steve Young it's were you aware of that when they called your name and did did you take a moment to think about that yeah I mean I think in the moment it was like man you know my family I was so excited like I got to see my name on the screen I got drafted and then after everything sort of settled in it's like man you know the first day you come walking in the locker room and you see all the Super Bowl trophies you see Joe Montana on the wall uh Jerry Rice Steve Young And it's like wow like the history here is Rich you know and uh to be here is just an honor and to be able to wear the Niner logo it's it's on another level so uh very thankful for it yeah you sound like you you took the my irrelevant stuff in your stride and maybe have a thick skin I don't know but did There's so always those people talking about your game aren't they scouting reports well he he can do this but he can't do that he can do this but well he can't do that do you are you good at shutting that sort of stuff out as well in the same way in high school you don't take all the praise are you good at kind of shutting down the negativity as well yeah 100% I don't you know try to get wrapped up in this world of being an NFL player and you know being a starting quarterback this and that it's you know for me it's like man I'm human you know I mess up uh you know I live life just like any other person on this on this Earth and so um I don't like to think I'm better than this person or that person it's just what God has me doing for a job um I'm very thankful for it and um at the end of the day I just want to go out and play football and I want to win you know if it may not be the stereotypical 66 quarterback who's throwing a deep ball and doing all this crazy stuff um but I find ways to win and I help I like to think that I help everyone around me get better so what was it like when you stepped into the the Huddle against the Miami Dolphins suddenly you suddenly you're playing and you're start you not starting but you're playing you're the guy in an NFL game uh for the first time and wasn't that your team you supported as a boy yeah yeah growing up I was a Miami Dolphins fan my Dash from Florida um you know I wear number 13 because of Dan Marino actually in the Dolphins and so just yeah that being my first real game in terms of you know trying to win and everything um um it was it was you know it was special to me but going in there I just wanted to obviously show everyone around me that hey we're going to be just fine I can go in compete and run the plays that Co coaches calling put up points on the board and and win so yeah that's where I was at with that to the Bay we go so he started his career known as Mr relevant after being the last pick in the 2022 NFL draft but he's been playing like an MVP Brock pie led the ners to a 5-0 start this season throwing for a little little over 12200 yd nine TDS in fact the ners offense as a whole has been explosive let me break it down for you they've scored 30 points in all five games this season they're the sixth team in the NFL history to do that four of the previous five went on to reach the Super Bowl also worth noting that San Fran leads the league in scoring defense this year a good shot at the Super Bowl but is he really an elite quarterback or is it just the situation he's in no he's not an elite quarterback he's a product of the system it's more credit to K Shanahan and what he's done get it in IU's hand get it in dbo hands get it in KD's hands and let them do the work but no he's not Elite no stretch of the imagination is the Elite Brock p is a top five quarterback and I get it I get it Chay that if somewhere else and you try to make him he's a top doing what he do where he does it with the people he does it with he's a top five quarterback not only is he a top five quarterback he's a top two MVP candidate Brock pie is Elite when I'm watching that game Sunday night I finally stopped fighting it and I said you know what it doesn't matter where he comes from it doesn't matter how he got there it doesn't matter who surrounds him Brock pie is an elite quarterback Brock py standing across from Dak Prescott I 100% said to myself i' take Brock pie over Dak Prescott [Music] what you [Music] say start with us start with us let's go go go bab just want to say this the only to fear is a fear of an opportunity we have nothing to fear today cuz we have a opportunity we have I have to go out there and show this room and what this team's about be violent be physical put good tape T take advantage of this do not hesitate go make a play RB's on three 1 2 three RB hey we know what time it is man we already know what time it is let's get it started man let's get it started all right it starts and it ends with us I love you guys let's go yeah so let's work hey proud of you stay healthy and good luck appreciate that thank [Music] you late [Applause] reaction read it read it B around a little bit sir a little [Music] bit fellas we earned this moment today the most physical team going to win this game today go send it to him from the first whistle to the last let's go get these boys 31 23 Ain no place I to be Ain no place I to be today baby that's work [Music] [Applause] [Music] wild service just be aware I'm going to be talking y got to hear me hey let's go stay together all right one play at a time one play at a time and P your wheel here we go D do your job de do your job [Applause] de everything you got go to the ball [Music] [Music] good go F out there boys we go we go sa baby told you I love you bro you keep going just get started I [Music] got hell of a job good ass coverage man good ass coverage we slide down we SL [Applause] good job good job hey nice job [Music] [Applause] go boy let's [Applause] go let's go com my guy class do all right G with the game third down we St on the field when we score we get points all right keep keep doing it keep doing [Applause] [Music] it in the [Applause] Z JJ give me some [Music] man I mean obviously we have a protection called um and then you can start to see like there's you know the coverage is coverage is tight everyone's low we know that I'm probably going to be hot um so I know that Christian's going to get you know the a gap here I'm going to be free with the guy off the edge but it's putting that you know the trust and faith that the guys up front are all going to do their assignment get their guy I know this guy on the edge is going to be free so now I got to put my trust in JJ you know in his route and uh know that I probably don't have time for a hitch I got to plant do uh like a five plant throw the ball um everyone's doing their job and and convert so that's something that we've done since training camp you know we did that all throughout uh OTAs and camp with you know drills on being hot pass protections all that kind of stuff so um and then it pays off on a on a crucial third down in Philadelphia week 13 you know so you wouldn't trust them before but like how much does that trust grow in terms of like you know maybe week one you believe it's going to happen but you know now you have all these examples of it happening how how does trust in kind of everybody doing exactly the right thing at the right time grow over the course of a season yeah I mean I think early on in the season it's not that you have to knock off Russ but it's man you got to play together you got to learn how guys you know move and and can pick things up you know especially with the guys up front um and then as the season goes you start to feel like all right this is who we are this is how my my guys up front play this is where I can step up in the pocket and then obviously trust them to you know pick up stuff that's coming late like blitzes and whatnot so um they've all done a great job throughout the year I feel like we've all gotten better you know looking at the first game in Pittsburgh till now we have gotten better but um you know there's always still some areas where we can all be better and it starts with myself you know with pocket movements and stuff but uh yeah definitely that trust and faith has gotten better you know since uh game one so I'm really excited
