If you were to mention the name ‘Brock Purdy’ in a conversation leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft, most fans wouldn’t know what you were talking about.

While Purdy was a good player at Iowa State, he didn’t receive many looks in the draft and was selected with the final pick by the San Francisco 49ers.

Little did they know the player they had on their hands.

Purdy continues to impress as the 49ers’ starter and has shown the front office that he can be their franchise quarterback for the foreseeable future.

He has already put together two impressive seasons, but if a recent photo is any indication, Purdy could be in for an even greater season in 2024.

Dov Kleiman highlighted that Purdy has gained a lot of muscle mass in the offseason, which has made fans even more excited to see what he does next year.

Fans made sure to respond to Kleiman’s post, highlighting what they think this means for Purdy ahead of the new season.

Most fans were impressed with what Purdy has done over the past several weeks, hoping he can bring the 49ers back to the Super Bowl and finish the job this time.

Of course, as one fan pointed out with a photo of Patrick Mahomes, physique doesn’t necessarily mean that a quarterback is good, or even improved.

Mahomes beat Purdy with a ‘dad bod,’ as showcased by a locker room photo that also went viral when it first came out after this year’s Super Bowl.
