Read excerpt
Is there a player in the NFL right now performing at a higher level than San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy? Even with a depleted group of wide receivers, Purdy is playing near-perfect football so far this season. He has led his team to a 3-0 start and doesn't show any signs of slowing down. The former Mr. Irrelevant has become one of the most relevant players in the league. Though there is still a lot of football left to be played this season, Purdy has to be the early favorite to win
