Brock Purdy’s H.S. Coach Reflects on 49ers QB, Recruiters Didn’t Want Him!

Brock Purdy has all the time flown underneath the radar — whether or not as a flippantly recruited highschool participant or a school QB simply hoping to get drafted — the 49ers signal-caller has been neglected, in accordance with his H.S. coach … although the collective soccer world exhibits indicators they’re beginning to clever up!

“[The recruiters] don’t know how to evaluate talent,” former Perry Excessive Faculty head coach Preston Jones, wearer of a killer ‘stache, informed TMZ Sports activities this week.

“They don’t know what’s good and they look at all these things about height and speed. They don’t look at winners and they don’t look at all these things that [Purdy] is.”

Earlier than final season’s sudden flip of occasions (Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo taking place), Purdy was only a 3-star prospect within the 2018 recruiting class  … and out of doors of Iowa State, he did not get a lot consideration in any respect.

Brock selected ISU … and went off for the Cyclones throughout his 4 seasons, throwing for 12,170 passing yards and 81 passing touchdowns. he additionally ran for a bunch of yards and TDs … and he broke 32 college data!

Stud … perhaps even a first-round decide with these gaudy numbers, proper?

Not so quick. Purdy wasn’t taken within the 1st, 2nd, or third rounds … no, he was the final decide — choice 262 — within the seventh and closing spherical of the 2022 Draft … colloquially generally known as “Mr. Irrelevant.”

He isn’t so irrelevant anymore … and Jones thinks plenty of coaches are probably kicking themselves for overlooking Brock.

“There’s a lot of guys that missed on him and they’re gonna regret this one day,” Coach Jones stated. “I like to laugh at those guys now.”

On the finish of the day, Jones is ecstatic it is all labored out for his former QB — who he calls the best offensive participant he is ever coached — believing every little thing turned out the way in which it was alleged to.

“It was destiny, it was so cool that it worked that way and it’s also kinda been his life’s story. Coming out of high school, not getting recruited … so it was kinda perfect,” Jones stated.

“It’s a great chapter in his book that’s not done yet.”

And, with a win over Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, Brock’s story may very well find yourself being a e book … and a film.
