49ers Brock Purdy Signs Record $265M Extension, Gains Teammate Praise

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, who signed a record-breaking five-year, $265 million contract extension, has been praised by tight end George Kittle for his consistent work ethic and preparation despite his rapid rise from the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft to franchise cornerstone. Purdy recently purchased a home in Nashville, Tennessee, where he has been training with Kittle and free agent QB C.J. Beathard, highlighting their commitment to building chemistry off the field. Kittle, a fifth-round pick in 2017 and multiple-time Pro Bowler, emphasized the importance of rewarding home-grown talent and building strong bonds through shared struggles and victories on the football field. New 49ers tight end Luke Farrell also commended Purdy's calm demeanor and steady approach to leadership. Despite missing this year's Tight End University event due to a charity golf commitment, Purdy remains highly engaged in team preparation and is well-regarded by teammates for his professionalism. Together, Purdy and Kittle continue to be central figures in the 49ers’ offense as the team looks ahead to the 2025 season.
