Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton’s public support of 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is well documented, and now the NFL star is returning the favor for his former Iowa State classmate. During an interview on 95.

In 40 career games with the 49ers, Purdy has completed 67.5% of his passes for 9,518 yards and 64 touchdowns to 27 interceptions. He took over as the starter in 2022 due to injuries and never looked back, guiding the 49ers to an NFC title game appearance in his first year and a Super Bowl appearance in '23.

The San Francisco 49ers were reportedly close to finalizing a contract extension aimed at strengthening the roster and setting the stage for a potential renewal with star quarterback Brock Purdy ahead of the upcoming NFL season.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy celebrated his life-changing contract with those closest to him over the weekend.

The 49ers suffered numerous losses this offseason but the team will be in good shape if it can extend Purdy, Kittle and Fred Warner.

The San Francisco 49ers and quarterback Brock Purdy reportedly agreed to a five-year contract extension worth $265 million, per Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. The deal includes $181 million guaranteed, and makes Purdy the seventh highest-paid quarterback in the NFL on a per-year basis.

He quickly ascended to the starting job for the 49ers, one of the most storied franchises in the NFL. Then he helped lead them to a Super Bowl appearance. And now, on Friday, Purdy signed a $265 million contract extension. You can't write a script like that.
