Purdy regained all the ground lost after his 2024 season, and then some, among voters. His average tier vote (2.28) and ranking (T-11th) are career bests... Purdy is No. 1 in EPA per pass play over that span.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Purdy's career-best Tier 2 ranking reflects elite EPA and quick decision-making.

Ranked Tier 2 (#11) by The Athletic's QB tiers with career-best average tier vote (2.28) and ranking (T-11th). Sando credits Purdy's athleticism and quick decision-making: "he can see it so fast, and he makes quick decisions, and he's more athletic than you think." Purdy ranks No. 1 in EPA per pass play since 2023 (his first full season as 49ers starter), and an offensive coordinator praised his scramble game and difficulty to sack. Voters consistently note the system fit with Kyle Shanahan, with one exec calling him "deceptive athletically" and "the one guy who plays bigger than he is."
