49ers QB Brock Purdy explained how practicing against Nick Bosa as the scout-team quarterback has helped his presence in the pocket now when he’s the starter.
at Levi’s Stadium. Nonetheless, going against top-notch pass rushers such as Chase Young, Jonathan Allen and Montez Sweat didn’t necessarily intimidate Purdy, who had to work against potential NFL Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa each week when he was the scout-team QB.
“Honestly, it was frustrating at times, just like dropping back and seeing Nick right in my face and having to make a move almost every play," Purdy told reporters after the win, which made him 3-0 as the 49ers' starting QB this season."It [does] help, like in terms of keeping my eyes down the field, there’s a pass rush coming, there’s guys swiping for the ball, you know, Nick is breathing down my neck almost every play. So, it definitely did help.
"And then, obviously, you get to a defense like today with a great front and that kind of stuff. It’s just real, like the pass rush, climbing the pocket, all that kind of stuff. So, big credit to all the guys at practice leading up to this point.”
