Brock Purdy (2022)

Brock Purdy, the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, walked in as Mr. Irrelevant—and walked out as a starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers with the league’s loudest fanbase behind him.

He didn’t just embrace the underdog story—he rewrote it. Every throw is dissected like a national event, every win fuels debates about whether he’s a product of the system or the spark behind it. Either way, Purdy’s rise from last pick to playoff hero makes him one of the most unforgettable Mr. Irrelevants ever.

So, are you Team Purdy—or one of those people still asking if he’s “for real”?
