How Brock Purdy’s work with his throwing coach, Will Hewlett, transformed his game

Only a few days after Iowa State lost to Clemson in the Cheez-It Bowl, draft-eligible quarterback Brock Purdy turned his attention towards the NFL Draft.

Purdy was a four-year starter at Iowa State, but his draft stock was low due to his size (6-foot-1, 212 pounds) and his average arm strength in college.

Despite the concerns over his size, Purdy was determined to prove his worth, and that started with some pre-draft work with his personal throwing coach, Will Hewlett.

Hewlett is a private quarterback trainer who focuses on throwing mechanics, motion, and cognitive strategies for NFL-aspiring passers.
