Overview
- Pro Football Focus ranked Purdy No. 10 among projected starting quarterbacks in its 2026 list, citing multi-year PFF grades and advanced metrics that favor his accuracy and play under pressure.
- Purdy returned to the NFL Top 100 at No. 85 in recent league voting, marking renewed national recognition after missing significant time last season.
- Statistically, Purdy has compiled 11,685 career passing yards with 84 touchdowns and 37 interceptions across four seasons while leading the 49ers to three playoff trips and a Super Bowl appearance.
- San Francisco upgraded the pass-catching depth this offseason by adding veterans Mike Evans and Christian Kirk and drafting De’Zhaun Stribling to pair with Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle.
- Durability remains the chief caveat for projections because Purdy has never finished a full season and missed eight games in 2025 with a turf-toe injury, which will shape how far the team can rise if he stays healthy.
