Who is Brock Purdy, the rookie quarterback for the 49ers?
The 2022 NFL Draft quarterback class was expected to be a one of the worst in recent memory. For the first time since 1997, no quarterbacks were taken in the first 19 picks and just a single quarterback (the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Kenny Pickett) was taken in the entirety of the first two rounds. When the season started, exactly zero rookie quarterbacks were in the starting lineup.

Here are our picks for the playoffs!
Welcome to the playoffs football fans, we made it. I’ve got to admit, as random at the 2022 season was, it definitely feels like much of this weekend has already been decided. It’s not necessarily that teams coasted into the playoffs without deserving it, but more that particularly in the AFC the injury bug has bitten two teams, at the worst time, at the worst position.
Of course we’re talking about the Dolphins and Ravens, who enter the weekend without Tua Tagovailoa and Lamar Jackson respectively.
It should feel kind of the same for the San Francisco 49ers and the Miami Dolphins as they head into their playoff games this weekend.
No, really.
Think about it: The Dolphins will start their third-string quarterback on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills because starter Tua Tagovailoa is out with a concussion and second-stringer Teddy Bridgewater is managing a dislocated finger in his right (throwing) hand.
That means Skylar Thompson, a rookie quarterback drafted in the seventh round, is Miami’s starter.
The 49ers are in the same situation.
Brian Hartline is the new offensive coordinator at Ohio State.
The former NFL receiver and WR coach for the Buckeyes has been elevated to the team’s OC after several great years of developing an elite position group.
The move comes after Kevin Wilson left to become the head coach at Tulsa.
