Silicon Valley’s golden boy just hit the jackpot, and we’re here for it. 🏈

Brock Purdy, the 49ers’ quarterback who went from being the last pick in the 2022 NFL draft to a bonafide NFL superstar, has just scored a jaw-dropping five-year contract worth up to $265 million. Talk about a glow-up!

From Zero to Hero

Remember when everyone thought Purdy was just another throwaway draft pick? Well, joke’s on the haters. This 25-year-old quarterback has been systematically dismantling expectations faster than a startup disrupts an industry. From beating Tom Brady in his first start to dominating NFL passing metrics, Purdy has essentially told the league, “Mr. Irrelevant? More like Mr. Incredible”.

The Money Moves

With $181 million in total injury guarantees and $100 million fully guaranteed at signing, Purdy’s contract is basically a tech funding round for his football career. The 49ers managed to keep his 2025 salary-cap hit around $8.5 million - a financial gymnastics routine that would make Silicon Valley CFOs proud.

The Long Game

Coach Kyle Shanahan’s commitment is crystal clear: “I plan on being with Brock here the whole time I’m here”. Translation? The 49ers are betting big on their young quarterback, and they’re not bluffing.

Purdy’s journey from the last draft pick to a quarter-billion-dollar contract is the ultimate Bay Area success story - proving that in tech and football, it’s not where you start, it’s how you hustle.
