San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy had an outstanding 2023 season, ranking at or near the top of the NFL in several statistical categories.
However, at age 24, he seems to still have plenty of room for growth.
Dov Kleiman pointed out something that is notable — how Purdy has gained some serious muscle.

Purdy has already been one of the NFL’s greatest Cinderella stories ever since he took over the 49ers’ starting job in Week 13 of the 2022 season as a rookie, and perhaps the best is still yet to come for him.
He made the Pro Bowl and led the Niners to a Super Bowl appearance, where they narrowly lost in heartbreaking fashion to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime.
With one of the league’s most talented, if not the most talented, roster, this could be the year they finally break their championship drought and win their sixth Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Plenty of people, however, still refuse to give Purdy his due and accuse him of being a “game manager,” despite lots of evidence that proves otherwise.
But he appears to have the mindset one needs to become truly great, as he said in a recent interview that he wants to be dominant in a Tom Brady-type of way.
If he follows through, the Niners could be in for another glorious era similar to the one they had in the 1980s and 1990s when Joe Montana and Steve Young gave them consistently elite QB play for nearly 20 uninterrupted years.
