In the NFL, quarterback Baker Mayfield stunned the football world.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is making a name for himself, and it isn’t Mr. Irrelevant anymore. Mr. Irrelevant is a nickname given to the player picked last in the NFL draft. Up until last week’s game against the Miami Dolphins when Purdy subbed in for an injured Jimmy Garoppolo, no one knew who he was, but after handily defeating Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, Purdy is now the celebrated QB1 for the Niners. Purdy can now boast he’s the only quarterback to beat Tom Brady in his first career start.
