San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Brock Purdy has caught the attention of a franchise legend.
During an appearance on 104.5 KNBR's Tolbert & Copes, Young said that Purdy reminds him of a young Patrick Mahomes, adding that "the kid has The Force," a reference to Star Wars.

Purdy, the last pick in the 2022 NFL draft, has served as the team's starting quarterback since Week 14 following an injury to veteran signal-caller Jimmy Garoppolo, who took over after 2021 first-round pick Trey Lance suffered a season-ending injury in Week 2.
