Shanahan says Brock Purdy has ‘some traits that were very similar to Nick Mullens’

If you’re a fan of college football, then you’re familiar with the name Brock Purdy. He went to high school in my neck of the woods in Phoenix, Arizona, where Purdy, despite being a 3-star recruit, put up monster numbers and had offers to go to prominent schools such as Alabama.

Purdy committed to Iowa State and won the starting job as a true freshman over the two incumbent quarterbacks. Purdy became a household name in college football after his sophomore campaign, where Purdy threw for 27 touchdowns and nine interceptions while adding eight rushing touchdowns.
