San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has emerged as a notable figure over the past year, evolving from humble beginnings to become the franchise quarterback for the Bay Area team.
The 24-year-old was selected by the 49ers as the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, landing in the seventh round at the 262nd overall position, bestowing upon him the title of "Mr. Irrelevant," a moniker given to the last pick of the draft.
Initially beginning the 2022 season as the third-string quarterback behind Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance, Purdy found himself in a starting role in his rookie year due to injuries to the two quarterbacks ahead of him.
Subsequently, the former Iowa State player delivered exceptional performances, guiding the team through the 2022-23 NFL Playoffs and ultimately reaching the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
This season, Purdy has elevated his performance even further, contributing significantly as the starting quarterback and helping the Niners clinch the best record in the NFC.
The former Iowa State Cyclones standout's exceptional play has positioned him as a contender for the NFL MVP award this season, leading the team to a berth in the Super Bowl LVIII.
Thanks to his meteoric rise, Purdy has earned the affectionate nickname "Mr. Relevant."
Brock Purdy Girlfriend, Jenna Brandt
Purdy revealed his engagement to Jenna Brandt in July 2023, sharing the special moment on social media.
"My Jenna girl forever. I can't wait to be your husband and grow together in Christ. Here's to forever babe. I love you JB!" Purdy wrote in the caption as he took one knee on a dock in Saint Cloud, Florida.
Born on October 26, 1999, the 24-year-old Brandt seemingly confirmed her relationship with Purdy on Instagram in November 2022 by sharing a series of photos on social media. However, their connection extends back further than that particular moment.
The couple's first encounter took place at Iowa State University, where Purdy was a football player, and Brandt played as a setter on the volleyball team, taking a major in Kinesiology.
Brandt later transferred to the University of Northern Iowa to continue her college volleyball career in 2021, but the two kept in touch.
Brandt has consistently shown unwavering support for Purdy and the Niners, often attending multiple games where she can be seen fully adorned in team merchandise.
