San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has yet to meet his Green Bay Packers counterpart in Jordan Love, but he has nothing but respect and admiration for him.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday as they prepare for the divisional round, Purdy was asked about his thoughts on Love and if he has ever met him. While the 49ers QB haven’t had a chance to face off with the Packers rising star, he noted that he has heard and seen only good things about the youngster.
“I haven’t met him. I know guys that have. Everyone respects him. I respect him obviously for what he has done and just the situation that he has been in,” Rudy shared, via 49ers WebZone.
“Playing behind Aaron [Rodgers] for a number of years and then coming in and sort of proving to himself and everybody who he is. So definitely respect his story and his game and everything and how he’s handled himself.”
It looks like Jordan Love got a fan in Brock Purdy. And while the two will be competitors come Saturday, it doesn’t mean they cannot show their respect for each other.
Furthermore, it’s not hard to be impressed by Love and what he has done so far in his career. In his first year as a fulltime starter, not only has he led the Green Bay Packers to the playoffs, but he has also propelled them to a win after they beat the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card round.
Green Bay Packers’ Jordan Love Compared To San Francisco 49ers’ Brock Purdy
Sure enough, when the two players meet on Saturday, there will be a ton of comparisons. After all, they are both really young, with Jordan Love just 25 years old and Brock Purdy at 24.
The name of the two have also been mentioned together in recent weeks. Back in Week 17, Love actually joined Purdy as the only players to have at least eight games with multiple passing touchdowns without an interception in the 2023 season.
While they are young, they are both really good and talented QBs. With that said, their showdown will definitely be quite the intriguing battle in the divisional round.
