Brock Purdy is one win away from that rare record that only four other rookie QBs, including Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes, hold.
One of football’s greatest stars, Brock Purdy, is one step away from making history. Purdy plays for the San Francisco 49ers as a quarterback. The 24-year-old player begins his NFL journey in 2022. The 49ers selected the player in Round 7 of the NFL Draft that year.
This player made an excellent reputation to his name in just two seasons. Purdy excelled last season and continues to do so in the current season. Looking over his shoulder, 49ers fans dream of winning the Super Bowl for the first time since 1995 – the 24-year-old quarterback also dreams of winning his first Super Bowl on February 11, 2024.
Brock Purdy has an excellent opportunity to put his name on the list of the best players in the history of football. Purdy and company will take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium.
Players who won a Super Bowl in their first year as a full-time starter
Many players have won the Super Bowl, but only four players in history became champions during their first year as a full-time starter. The list includes Kurt Warner, Tom Brady, Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes.
Kurt Warner won the shiny trophy with the St. Louis Rams on January 30, 2000. In Super Bowl XXXIV, the Rams defeated the Tennessee Titans by a score of 23–16. The next name in this list is that of America’s great football player Tom Brady. Brady won Super Bowl XXXVI with the New England Patriots, where the franchise defeated the Rams 20–17.
The fans experienced an end-to-end contest in the match, but the Patriots managed to win by a margin of 3 points. The third name in the list is Russell Wilson. Wilson plays for the Denver Broncos after coming over from the Seattle Seahawks. During Wilson’s time with the Seahawks, they set a record by winning Super Bowl XLVIII. That game was one-way traffic as the Seahawks became champions by humiliating the Denver Broncos.
The score after full time was 43-8 and Wilson etched his name in the record books. The last name on the list is the best player of the current generation, Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is the best player fans are seeing right now. In Super Bowl LIV in 2019, the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31–20.
