Former Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy agreed to a five-year mega contract with the San Francisco 49ers, totaling an impressive $265 million.

Purdy was famously selected as Mr. Irrelevant in the 2022 NFL Draft and developed into a star, leading the 49ers deep into the playoffs in back-to-back seasons.

Everyone, take a deep breath and remind yourselves how cool Brock Purdy’s story is, how well he’s played compared to other recent Niners QBs, and what he has already accomplished. https://t.co/1DreXY6xkB

A top 15ish QB in football with the eighth-most total guaranteed money. A figure that’s sure to be closer to the 15th-most guaranteed money in 2-3 years.

Good deal https://t.co/DRzlObpHeK
