Niners Wire • • sports
Key Points:
- Brock Purdy surpassed Jimmy Garoppolo in passing yards for the San Francisco 49ers after Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, accumulating 13,665 yards compared to Garoppolo's 13,599 yards.
- Purdy, a rookie drafted last in the seventh round in 2022, has played 57 games with 53 starts, now ranking seventh in franchise history for passing yards.
- To climb higher in the franchise rankings, Purdy needs 616 yards to pass Alex Smith for sixth place, 2,352 yards to pass Y.A. Tittle for fifth, and 2,744 yards to pass Jeff Garcia for fourth.
- While surpassing Jeff Garcia for fourth place seems unlikely this season due to the high yardage needed, Purdy is expected to pass Alex Smith and potentially Y.A. Tittle before the season ends.
