Per ESPN: "Purdy, who was "Mr. Irrelevant" in the 2022 NFL draft as the Niners used the 262nd and final pick on him, suddenly has plenty of relevance. Before Sunday, he'd appeared in mop-up duty in three games, going 4-of-9 for 66 yards and an interception against the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 23. But next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Purdy will become the first "Mr. Irrelevant" to start in the common draft era and he will do so against Tom Brady, who is 7-0 in his career against quarterbacks making their first start.
"I think it's cool," Purdy said. "He's been playing football longer than I've been alive, so to have a first start against, you know, the GOAT, it's gonna be pretty cool."
