Brock Purdy, the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, has become a sensation in the NFL with his rise-to-success story. Despite being the very last pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Purdy has guided his team to two straight NFC title game appearances, with the latest resulting in a come-from-behind victory over the Detroit Lions. The win secured the 49ers a spot in Super Bowl LVIII, where they will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n

Throughout his journey, Purdy has leaned on his faith in God. After winning the NFC championship game, he reflected on his football journey and attributed his success to God, saying, “I feel like I’ve always sort of had to fight for what I get and work for what I get. But God’s always given me an opportunity, whether that was in high school, college, and then obviously in the NFL.”<\/p>\n

Despite being listed at just six feet, one inch, Purdy has overcome the odds to become one of the NFL’s youngest starting quarterbacks in the Super Bowl. He credits his faith in God for giving him the strength to overcome obstacles and to find peace and joy in his journey.<\/p>\n

After falling behind 24-7 to the\u00a0Detroit Lions\u00a0at halftime of the NFC Championship Game, the 49ers became the first team to overcome a seemingly insurmountable second-half deficit.<\/p>\n

During the post-game news conference, Purdy shared, “So when I’m down 17 at half, honestly, I’m just thinking, alright God, You’ve taken me here. And win or lose, I’m gonna glorify You. And that’s my peace. That’s the joy. That’s the steadfastness. That’s where I get it from. And that’s the honest truth. So I lean into that. And sure enough, we were able to come back.”<\/p>\n

Purdy also referenced his faith during a post-game interview on the nationally televised broadcast on Fox.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlory to God,\u201d Purdy said. \u201cHe’s given us this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFirst of all Glory to God.\u201d<\/p>\n
