Purdy and Garoppolo were both quarterbacks on the 49ers during the 2022 season, in competition for playing time. 

Trey Lance started the season as San Francisco's starting quarterback, with an injury quickly giving way to Garoppolo.

It was not a guarantee Purdy would even make the team out of training camp, as he had to beat Nate Sudfeld for a roster spot.  

By the back stretch of the season, Purdy was the 49ers' starter, a position he has not relinquished since. It was also a position he always believed he could be in, partly due to who was in front of him on the depth chart. 

'Once Jimmy Garoppolo became the starter [in 2022], I was like I might get some playing time this year. I just don't know when,' Purdy said this week about taking over the 49ers' offensive helm. on the Built4More Podcast.
