Brock Purdy misses top-10 spot in 2026 NFL quarterback rankings

Brock Purdy, quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, did not make ESPN's top-10 NFL quarterback rankings for 2026, appearing in the honorable mentions instead. Despite a strong performance in the 2025 season, where he threw for 2,167 yards and 20 touchdowns, he was sidelined for half the season due to a turf toe injury. Analysts pointed out that Purdy's metrics ranked him highly with Pro Football Focus, where he was considered the 10th-best quarterback entering 2026. His effective play led to a 13-4 season for the 49ers and a divisional round appearance. The perception of Purdy’s abilities has yet to align with his statistical success as others, including Jayden Daniels and Jordan Love, also received honorable mentions.
