Iowa State standout Brock Purdy became the "Mr. Irrelevant" in the 2022 NFL Draft. His exceptional skills powered the 49ers to victory in all five regular-season games.

This led the 49ers to a ten-game winning streak, a division title, and an NFC Championship Game appearance.

Brock earned the nickname "Mr Relevant" by the 49ers as one of five rookie quarterbacks to start in a conference championship game.

Brock Purdy's remarkable height sets him apart and enhances his effectiveness as a quarterback, providing him with added strength and presence on the field.

However, Brock Purdy's height failed to impress the University of Alabama's head football coach, Nick Saban, during his visit to Alabama once.

Nick went so far as to comment, "You’re below average in height. Your arm strength is whatever. Your accuracy is average," as reported by The Athletic.
