The San Francisco 49ers are one team that is expected to have a quarterback competition in training camp.
Last season the idea was for Trey Lance to be the quarterback of the future for the 49ers.
But after Lance got injured in the second game of the season the 49ers had to turn to Jimmy Garoppolo.
Until Garoppolo got injured in Week 13, and the outlook was bleak for the rest of the 49ers season.
That was until seventh-round draft pick Brock Purdy stepped into the lineup.
Purdy was flawless as the starter for the 49ers.
He led them to an undefeated record and the NFC Championship game.
But an injury to Purdy’s throwing arm caused him to get knocked out of that game and the 49ers’ season to end.
Now Purdy and Lance will battle it out in training camp to see who is the starter in 2023.
Before any of that happens Purdy has made a major life announcement.
Purdy recently posted a picture on his Instagram that he got engaged to his girlfriend, Jenna.
Congratulations Brock and Jenna!

With training camp starting at the end of July, Purdy still needs some time to recover from his offseason surgery.
The injury to his throwing elbow was expected to keep him out until August.
But it appears he may be able to come back sooner than that.
Despite being a seventh-round pick many people think Purdy will win the job over Lance.
If not for his elbow injury he might have led the Niners to the Super Bowl.
It will be interesting to see how the starting quarterback position plays out over the next two months.
