San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been statistically one of the most dominant quarterbacks in the league this season, and as a result he is headed to the first Pro Bowl of his career. And it sounds like he’s excited about it.
During a press conference this week, Brock Purdy made it clear just how much the Pro Bowl selection means to him.
“What an honor,” Purdy said according to David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. “Very thankful, obviously, to everyone who voted and all the support across the country. It’s so cool, actually. And for all my teammates, too, for them to be recognized, it’s sweet. We’ve got a special team, special unit of guys, but to be listed up there with them, what an honor. So, yeah, very thankful for it.”
Purdy led all players in fan votes, receiving 451,864 votes from fans.
“Yeah, I heard about that. It’s crazy,” Purdy said. “I don’t know really what to say to that. It’s cool. Sort of just, this last year, how crazy it’s been. And then to sort of see that and the support from everybody watching, just all of it, the whole story, and the last year, it’s been a blessing.”
The Pro Bowl selection is undoubtedly an honor, but Purdy likely hopes to have a Super Bowl, instead.
