Former NFL GM Jeff Diamond recently ranked Brock Purdy as the sixth best NFL player under the age of 25. Purdy, who set a franchise record for the most single-season passing yards with 4,280 yards last season, has been making a name for himself in the league.
Diamond praised Purdy for his impressive rookie season, where he won his first seven starts and led the 49ers to an NFC championship and a Super Bowl appearance. Purdy topped the NFL with a 113.0 passer rating and threw 31 touchdowns during the 2023 season.
Among the top young talents in the league, Purdy stands out as the highest-ranked quarterback on Diamond’s list. He is followed by players like C.J. Stroud, Jordan Love, and Trevor Lawrence.
Diamond highlighted Purdy’s dual-threat ability, noting that he showed good running skills in addition to his passing prowess during a Pro Bowl season. The former GM also mentioned that a big payday could be in store for Purdy if he maintains his current level of performance.
Heading into the upcoming season, Purdy has the opportunity to solidify his position as one of the league’s top young talents. With a full offseason as the 49ers’ starting quarterback, the young signal-caller is poised to continue his ascent in the NFL rankings.
