Brock Purdy reveals he needs to share rent with a roommate

Last year, the San Francisco 49ers chose Brock Purdy as the final pick in the NFL Draft. Although he wasn’t anticipated to see much playing time, injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo provided him with an opportunity to take the field.

Since Brock Purdy entered the league as the ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ of the 2022 NFL Draft, the 49ers didn’t offer him a substantial contract. San Francisco signed the quarterback to a 4-year, $3.7 million deal, which isn’t sufficient for him to afford living in the Bay Area.

Purdy is living off a $870,000 salary in the third most expensive city in the United States. “So he (a roommate) and I are still splitting rent,” the second-year quarterback said. “I still drive my Toyota Sequoia. Other than that, it’s pretty simple.”
