Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule revealed Wednesday he was shot down when he suggested putting Brock Purdy on the Panthers’ draft board in 2022 when he was still their head coach.
Purdy, taken last in that draft by the 49ers, has gone on to help lead San Francisco to Super Bowl 2024 when the team takes on the Chiefs this Sunday in Las Vegas.
But Rhule, now at Nebraska, said Purdy caught his eye when the signal-caller was still in college.
