Brock Purdy Placed 10th in PFF’s 2026 Quarterback Rankings
PFF pointed to Purdy’s high grades, strong accuracy and a league-leading pressure-to-sack rate, with an eight-game 2025 absence raising durability questions.
Overview
- Pro Football Focus put Brock Purdy at No. 10 in its 2026 quarterback rankings and highlighted an 85.4 PFF grade, a 78.7% accuracy rate and a 9.0% pressure-to-sack rate as key reasons for the placement.
- Purdy missed eight games in 2025 because of a turf-toe injury, but PFF noted he remained highly effective when available, posting the third-highest passing grade under pressure (65.8) among qualifiers.
- PFF ranked established stars such as Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes ahead of Purdy, signaling that the list blends traditional reputation with analytic grading.
- The PFF list placed at least eight former No. 1 overall draft picks below Purdy, including Trevor Lawrence and Caleb Williams, underscoring how advanced metrics have reshaped quarterback comparisons.
- Purdy’s career numbers and team results back the ranking, and the 49ers’ offseason additions at receiver could raise his ceiling if he stays healthy, making his durability the decisive factor for San Francisco’s 2026 outlook.
