Jed York spilled the beans last week when he told the media that San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan thought Brock Purdy was the best quarterback as a rookie during training camp.
Some feelings may get hurt reading that, but Shanahan was correct when you think about the success this team has had with Purdy under center and how quick and consistent it’s been.
Kyle told Peter King that the 49ers had a fourth-round grade on Purdy. That also led to some not-so-happy coaches on the staff.
Shanahan also told King that the team’s interest in Tom Brady last offseason was a compliment to Purdy.
