Hard to believe Brock Purdy was the last player drafted ... [View all]

in 2022, and that running back Jordan Mason, of Georgia Tech, wasn’t drafted at all. Both had big games for the 49ers today. Purdy made Tom Brady irrelevant.

Arguably, only two games for Purdy and a handful for Mason. BUT it destroys most every scouting cliche out there about size, strength, speed, and athleticism.

Wow!
