49ers' Trent Williams Says Brock Purdy's Story Is Like 'Hitting the Powerball' at $2B

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams has been impressed with Brock Purdy's unlikely rise under center.

"It's like playing the lottery and hitting the Powerball when it's at $2 billion," Williams said, according to David Lombardi of The Athletic.

Purdy was selected with the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

His unlikely rise saw him emerge as the 49ers' starter throughout their playoff run last season, leading the team to the NFC Championship game before he suffered a torn UCL.

He's since cemented himself as the team's surefire starter with 2,329 yards and 15 touchdowns through the first nine games of San Francisco's 2023 campaign.
