Now that Brock Purdy is officially a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback, everyone's claiming they saw it coming.Purdy's story of being the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft to a star on the Super Bowl stage is as improbable as they come. In fact, he's the Isaih Pacheco Jersey only Mr. Irrelevant quarterback to ever take a single snap in the NFL, never mind lead a team to the big game.Purdy's succe s story wouldn't even be believable if it was scripted in a movie, yet, during Super Bowl media week, we've already seen two head coaches declare that they were early on the Purdy train.First, it was his own head coach, Kyle Shanahan, who claimed that "our third guy's the best," in reference to Purdy being better than Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance.

The now-Nebraska head coach , "When I was in the draft room at Carolina, I brought Brock Purdy 's name up. I said, 'Hey guys, he should be on the draft board.'"I got vetoed on that one," Rhule said.Rhule's revisionist claim is ... not as believable.It's worth mentioning that Purdy threw for a combined 572 yards and scored four touchdowns while going 1-1 against Rhule's Baylor Bears when he was at Iowa State, so Rhule saw firsthand how effective Purdy can be. Still, it sounds like the coach's hindsight is 20-20.In the 2022 NFL Draft, the Panthers selected Ole Mi s quarterback Matt Corral with their third-round pick. Unle s Carolina considered taking two QBs or Rhule was pushing for the Panthers to hold off on drafting a QB to take Purdy in a later round, it's tough to believe Rhule's statement Isaiah Moss Jersey .Carolina had also added former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield that offseason while keeping former No. 3 overall pick Sam Darnold on their roster, further hurting Rhule's claim.Here's a list of who the Panthers drafted that season:First Round (6th overall): OT Ikem Ekwonu, NC StateThird Round (94): QB Matt Corral, Ole Mi sFourth Round (120): LB Brandon Smith, Penn StateSixth Round (189): DE Amare Barno, Virginia TechSixth Brandon Boston Jr. Jersey Round (199): OL Cade Mays, Tenne seeSeventh Round (242): CB Kalon Barnes, BaylorNot exactly a murderer's row.The internet was quick to jump all over the Nebraska head coach, calling "cap" and posting the cla sic LeBron James meme from when he said he knew Kobe Bryant was going to score 81 points on the night he did.MORE: Matt Anaya (@MatAnaya) Ill take things that never happened for $1000 Jenks and the Hammer (@JenksHammerPod) SleeperNFL (@SleeperNFL) Matt Sommer (@Msommer524) Wasnt vetoed on Kalon Barnes, his former Baylor DB, 20 picks earlier fwiw Mike Kaye (@mike_e_kaye) Did Matt Rhule Duke Shelley Jersey think Purdy was underrated going into the draft? Maybe, but that's like everyone in your fantasy football league claiming they knew Puka Nacua was underrated after he had 10 catches for 119 yards in Week 1.Considering Purdy was on the board until the last pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, Rhule clearly didn't put up much of a fight for him.
