Rookies Brock Purdy and Kenneth Walker III will be the central offensive figures Saturday for the 49ers and Seahawks.
When the NFL Wild Card Weekend kicks off Saturday, two of the central figures will be rookies.
Both have generated some buzz for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Although Purdy was the ProFootballTalk.com choice for Offensive Rookie of the Year, he likely won’t get more than also-ran notice for the official Associated Press award given that he’s made just five starts and played a major role in another win.“I don’t try to get wrapped up in any of that kind of stuff,” Purdy said Wednesday. “I’ve got to win.
Purdy has already made a couple All-Rookie teams at quarterback over Pittsburgh’s Kenny Pickett, having completed 67.1 percent of his passes for 1,374 yards and 13 touchdowns with four interceptions. He’s been the picture of poise since taking over after Jimmy Garoppolo broke his foot on Dec. 4 Walker closed with a rush to finish with 1,050 yards and nine touchdowns and joined Curt Warner as the only two rookie running backs to gain 1,000 yards in Seattle history.
