The big criticism of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy over his 1st 4 seasons is that he’s injury-prone, which is fair. It’s also fair to point out that when Purdy is healthy, he’s 1 of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks. Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon put Purdy at the top of his list of players who could break NFL records in 2026 — the NFL career passing record of 102.0 shared by former NFL MVP quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Aaron Rodgers. While Purdy missed 8 games due to injury in 2025, he went 7-2 in the 9 regular-season games he played in. Purdy signed a 5-year, $265 million contract extension with the 49ers in May 2025.
