Could the birth story of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy be the beginning of something bigger to come?<\/p>\n

According to Donte Whitner, a three-time NFL Pro Bowler, the answer is very simple.<\/p>\n

In fact, Whitner offered a very premature look at Purdy, drawing on the one and only Tom Brady connection. As Whitner noted in his impassioned commentary, Brady and Purdy he shares one key similarity – the beginnings of their careers. Third, like Purdy, who started the season as quarterback in his string, Brady joined his then-New England team in 2000 as Patriots quarterback Drew He served as backup to Bledsoe.<\/p>\n

“Listen, listen,” said Whitner. Video from NBC Sports Bay Area<\/a>“Brock Purdy is the second coming of Tom Brady \u2026 if Brock Purdy leads the 49ers to a championship and eventually brings Lombardi back to the Bay Area, crown him as the 49ers’ starter for the next decade.” Remember when Tom Brady replaced Drew Bledsoe?\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, to Whitner’s credit, Purdy is off to a strong start so far. <\/p>\n
