Despite Brock Purdy’s tough season, several of his San Francisco 49ers teammates were named Pro Bowl alternates in case a starter can’t attend.

Brock Purdy had to endure a challenging season with the San Francisco 49ers, where things didn’t go as planned, and the worst part is that the quarterback is now injured. Despite that, he and three other players were named Pro Bowl alternates, an honor that few players receive.

The other 49ers players named as alternates alongside Purdy were Leonard Floyd, Deommodore Lenoir, and Trent Williams. Their designation is to ensure they’re ready in case a starter can’t make the game, though it’s likely that Purdy, due to his injury, won’t even be able to attend.

In addition to the alternates, other 49ers players were fortunate enough to be named starters. Among them is George Kittle, who has six Pro Bowl appearances under his belt, nearly 1,000 yards accumulated in such events, and is also very close to reaching 10 touchdowns.

On the defensive side, Nick Bosa is also one of the starters representing the 49ers at the Pro Bowl. He’s been one of the most productive pass-rushers of the season. Another veteran making the list is Kyle Juszczyk, who received his ninth Pro Bowl selection.
