Brock Purdy, while emerging as the winner of the quarterback battle in San Francisco, remains a strong supporter of his former teammate Trey Lance and hopes for his success in his football career. Lance was recently traded to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a 2024 fourth-round pick, two years after being chosen as the third overall pick in the 2021 draft.
Reflecting on San Francisco’s preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Purdy expressed his gratitude for Lance’s contributions to the team. He emphasized their strong bond and praised Lance for being there for him from the beginning, providing guidance and support both on and off the field. Purdy expressed his deep appreciation for having Lance in his life.
The decision to name Sam Darnold as the backup quarterback to Purdy led to Lance becoming the third-string quarterback and subsequently being traded. This move allowed Lance to seek an opportunity as a backup quarterback in another organization, as he had expressed his desire to the 49ers.
Kyle Shanahan, the head coach, shared that Lance wanted to go to a team where he could have the chance to be the backup quarterback. Purdy continued to convey his gratitude towards Lance, expressing his happiness for him finding a good fit and a promising situation. He reiterated how thankful he was to have played and been a teammate of Lance.
Purdy spent one season alongside Lance after being chosen as the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He took over as the starting quarterback in Week 13 of the 2022 season when Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a foot injury against the Miami Dolphins. Purdy’s performance was outstanding, leading the team to seven consecutive victories as the starter until he injured his UCL in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Garoppolo’s injury occurred shortly after Lance broke his ankle, ending his season prematurely. As the regular season approaches, with the San Francisco 49ers set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 10, the team prepares for the challenges ahead.
Overall, Purdy’s sentiments towards Lance reflect a strong bond and deep appreciation for their time together as teammates. The trade to the Dallas Cowboys provides Lance with a fresh opportunity, and Purdy wishes him nothing but the best in his future endeavors.
