One of Purdy's most valuable traits is his innate ability to feel the rush and understand how to manipulate and maneuver around the pocket. Only Bo Nix had a lower sack percentage than Purdy did last season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Purdy's sack avoidance and pocket mobility set up perfectly against Rams' weak secondary.

Purdy's innate ability to feel the rush and manipulate the pocket is a core strength; only Bo Nix had a lower sack percentage than Purdy last season, and he consistently avoided negative plays to keep the offense on schedule. The source projects Purdy throwing 35 times per game as the norm, with Kyle Shanahan putting the season on his shoulders. Against the Rams' weak secondary and linebackers, Purdy's mobility and aggression over the intermediate field will be rewarded, especially if he can run for first downs.
