He won them all. Surprisingly, he was the final player to be selected in the 2022 NFL Draft. Trey Lance was the 49ers&#8217; quarterback in the start of the 2022 season. However, he was hurt and out for the season in the second game. Jimmy\u00a0Garoppolo, who led San Francisco to the Super Bowl in 2020, succeeded him, but he was injured against the Miami Dolphins on December 4.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re now just one game away from the Super Bowl! In addition to being a super talented football player, I love the fact that Brock Purdy is so open about his faith in Jesus Christ,\u201d Rev. Rev. Franklin Graham posted on Facebook last Sunday after the 49ers beat the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been football, man,\u201d Purdy spoke before the 49ers-Cowboys match. \u201cI don\u2019t try to make it more than it is. I\u2019m a faith-based guy, so that\u2019s how I stay grounded. I don\u2019t look at football like it\u2019s literally everything. It\u2019s [not] do or die or anything like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a game and it\u2019s my job, for sure, and I take it very seriously, but at the end of the day, I know that I\u2019m not defined by the wins or losses as a person, like, that\u2019s not who I am,\u201d He went on. \u201cI\u2019m not just a quarterback. I wasn\u2019t born to just to be a quarterback and play football, and that\u2019s it. Like, I have a life and everything like that. And I remember that, but at the same time, man, I\u2019m a competitor. I love to compete. I want to win at all costs and so, I\u2019ve been enjoying that as well, so that\u2019s where I\u2019m at. That\u2019s how I stay grounded with it all, but I\u2019m definitely thankful and blessed to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-493544\" class=\"wp-image-493544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Purdy-1-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"617\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Purdy-1-300x211-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Purdy-1-818x576-1.jpg 818w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Purdy-1-768x541-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Purdy-1.jpg 1024w\" style=\"display:none\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-493544\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jane Tyska\/Digital First Media\/East Bay Times via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Purdy, a sophomore at Iowa State, was the quarterback in 2019. <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsspectrum.com\/sport\/football\/2019\/09\/23\/iowa-state-qb-brock-purdy-turns-in-record-breaking-performance-aims-to-put-him-first\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sports Spectrum<\/a>\u00a0He was looking for it \u201cothers to see God through my actions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time I step on the field I want to bring Him glory. Even when we lose, I point to God and thank him for the opportunity. Everything happens for a reason; it\u2019s all a lesson from the Lord. It\u2019s a game, it\u2019s not my life. It took me a long time to realize this; I used to put football in front of the Lord. I would pray for him to keep me safe and give me a good game, but it isn\u2019t about that. Now I pray that I would make the most of the opportunity he\u2019s given me and, win or lose, that I would put him first,\u201d Purdy said.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, we will be back on the scene <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsspectrum.com\/podcast\/2021\/08\/06\/podcast-iowa-state-brock-purdy-christ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sports Spectrum Podcast<\/a> Podcast, Purdy recalls when he played Iowa State football and how it affected his life. He prayed to God for forgiveness after falling apart during the first week of fall camp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was just a great reminder of where my identity is, where it lies. And it\u2019s in Jesus. And I continue to lean on Him. Again, the next day I didn\u2019t go out and throw for 500 yards and was this awesome quarterback, but it was just this peace that I had with Him knowing that, \u2018Hey, no matter what I\u2019m going to face moving forward during college football, God and Jesus are going to be my identity. And whatever I face, I won\u2019t be shaken from it. I\u2019ve got a great foundation in Him,\u2019\u201d He said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NFL quarterback who could become the first rookie to take his team to the Super Bowl is a devout Christian.
